The University of Arizona requires all international students on non-immigrant visas (degree and non-degree seeking, resident or non-resident tuition) showing at least one registration unit, to carry the Student Health Insurance Plan unless one qualifies for an exemption.
International students who arrive 4 or 2 weeks prior to the start of fall or spring classes can enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
