However, if it is not equivalent to Pace’s then you will not receive a refund. Please note that your insurance policy must carry medical evacuation and repatriation clause.

If you do not complete the online waiver before the first day of classes, you will automatically be enrolled in the Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan and be charged the premium for the session you are enrolled in.

All F-1 International students at Pace University must purchase health insurance at the time of registration. If you would like to use your own health insurance policy, you must complete the health insurance waiver process before the first day of classes.

However, if it is not equivalent to Pace’s then you will not receive a refund. Please note that your insurance policy must carry medical evacuation and repatriation clause.

If you do not complete the online waiver before the first day of classes, you will automatically be enrolled in the Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan and be charged the premium for the session you are enrolled in.
