California State University, Long Beach requires all F-1 international students and J-1 exchange students to purchase and maintain adequate health insurance coverage prior to registering for classes. International students will not be able to register for classes until the Center for International Education (CIE) has received verification that you have purchased the MANDATORY California State University (CSU) International Student Health Insurance group policy offered through Wells Fargo Student Insurance. ONLY students fully sponsored (including all University fees, non-resident tuition, and incidentals) by particular foreign governments may meet certain criteria to be exempted from this requirement.

The required CSU International Student Health Insurance plan
pays 90% of covered health care costs for services provided by an
in-network doctor, clinic or hospital (PPO). The plan has a $100 deductible as well
as a small copay for each office visit. There is a $100 deductible for each emergency room visit, which is waived if admitted directly from the ER to the hospital.

How to Purchase
the CSU Plan
- Visit the website: www.csuhealthlink.com.
This is the quickest and easiest way to purchase your health insurance
with a credit card (Visa or MasterCard). You can print out a confirmation
of your purchase and the CIE office automatically receives an email notification from
the insurance company confirming your enrollment in the plan.
If you purchase insurance via the web, there is no need for you
to bring proof of purchase to CIE – CIE will remove your
registration hold within 3 business days in most cases.
- Go to the CSULB Wells Fargo Bank Branch, located on the main floor of the University Student Union (USU) and purchase insurance using a money order only (you may purchase a money order at the bank using cash or check). After you purchase your insurance there, bring a copy of your receipt to the CIE – CIE will remove your registration hold within 3 business days.
