Health Insurance
The UT System mandates students participating in approved study abroad programs have appropriate student international travel accident and sickness insurance coverage for the dates of their UT San Antonio approved study abroad period and are registered with International SOS.
As part of your study abroad process, you will be automatically enrolled under our international travel accident and sickness insurance. Student International Travel Accident and Sickness Policy is through ACE American Insurance Company/Chubb. The cost of the insurance is $20 per week. This fee will cover the cost of student travel accidents, sickness Insurance, and travel services while on UTSA approved programs. The policy brochure is available online at the Student International Travel Accident and Sickness Policy website.
Students are advised to maintain their primary healthcare coverage while abroad. You are required to have the UT System Student Travel Accident and Sickness Policy regardless of any other insurance you may have, including personal/private insurance, insurance required by third-party providers, or a foreign government. Waivers are not permissible.
