Unlike many universities, health insurance is not mandated for City University
of New York students. However, there are a variety of health insurance options
which students can pursue. Brief summaries of the various options are provided
on this page along with contact information for the plans.
GHI
CUNY students, who are registered for 6 credits or more, are eligible for medical/hospital/prescription drug coverage through the GHI/CUNY Student Health Insurance Program. For information on the benefits offered by the program please refer to the website at GHI/CUNY
Student Health Insurance. Per GHI, this plan is available to international students.
