Studentsafe insurance

10 November 2023

Health and travel insurance while you study in NZ is important. Studentsafe is UC's preferred medical and travel insurance for our international students. Unless you arrange approved alternative insurance, you'll automatically be given Studentsafe insurance. Find out about Studentsafe insurance.

HOW TO APPLY

The Studentsafe Inbound University Policy by Allianz Partners is UC's preferred medical and travel insurance for international students. You are automatically registered under the Studentsafe policy when you complete your enrolment, and the charge is added to your tuition fees invoice.  

Under the Studentsafe policy, when you travel to NZ to study for the first time, you automatically have up to 31 days of cover before the Course Start Date in which you have enrolled or pre-enrolled, even though your premium is not paid until your Enrolment in Person session.  You will have continuous cover throughout your study years, as long as you are fully enrolled and have paid the appropriate premium for each successive semester of study.

This insurance cost will be automatically added to your Statement of Fees attached to your Enrolment Agreement unless you arrange approved alternative cover.

For information about cover start and end dates and other policy details, please refer to the full Policy on the Studentsafe website
