Are there any special requirements for foreign students?
If you are an international student you must have a minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language Exam (TOEFL) or 213 on the computerized version. All international students at CSU Hayward holding certain types of immigration status are required to maintain health insurance to meet requirements set forth by the Chancellor’s Office. The Center for International Education, located in the Student Services Hub 1325, has the responsibility for ensuring that students comply with this requirement. CIE also oversees all visa requirements. Our Associated Students Office sells an insurance policy which meets the CSU requirements. That insurance policy is sold on an annual basis (September to September). Students who wish to purchase less than 1 year of insurance from Associated Students need to show the Center for International Education evidence that they will be completing their degree requirements before next September.
