Proof of medical insurance coverage in English, clearly showing the dates of coverage, OR payment for UCSD student medical insurance 4.

Yes, all continuing students must go to the International Student Services office located at UCSD Extension Building E before the last week of their program in order to confirm all required registration items for the following program. There are no exceptions to this registration requirement. No matter what the student’s enrollment or sponsorship status is, he or she must register at the end of one program session in order to continue into the next program session. Students with incomplete registrations (payments, medical insurance, immigration document check, submission/confirmation of local address) cannot attend classes and they cannot receive their UCSD Extension student identification number (ID) cards. All registration items must be completed and confirmed in order for new and continuing students to begin their programs.
