Students are strongly encouraged to carry health insurance, since Student Health Services is NOT health insurance.

If students are currently covered by health insurance, they should check with the carrier to see what arrangements need to be made so coverage continues while at college.  All students should carry health insurance cards with them. Participation in the University of Wisconsin System Student Health Insurance Plan (see below) is required for international students. Additional coverage must be purchased for Varsity Athletic coverage, for both domestic and international students. Please see below for additional information.

From UW-River Falls Risk Management web page: "UWRF does not provide any type of compensation for injuries that occur on campus. Each student and visitor is expected to have their own health insurance to cover personal medical costs."
