EO 1082 requires the campus to confirm that international students are insured. For international students who are enrolled online during the COVID 19 pandemic and are verifiably out of the country, this provision may be waived. Campuses should make sure that they and their students are in compliance with any visa regulations, and be prepared to confirm insurance when the student returns to the US.

You must purchase the CSUEB sponsored insurance for the Summer 2022 semester in order to remove the hold. Instructions are below.
