Please remember that you are representing our campus. We strongly recommend that undergraduates participating in the UCDC program have health insurance coverage of some kind during their time in Washington. We also strongly recommend that participants in the program take care of routine medical and dental check-ups and procedures before arriving in Washington. Bring copies of current prescriptions so that they can be filled in Washington pharmacies. Copies of your eyeglass prescription may also come in handy in case they break or get lost.
Many students obtain health insurance coverage through their parent's policy.
Please make sure you have coverage before you go. Please be sure to bring this information with you. Fees and Financial Aid Students on financial aid will receive a somewhat higher allocation based on expected additional costs in Washington. The full housing payment will be billed to your UCSD account as an advance from your financial aid and you will receive the balance of your financial aid once the housing and fees are deducted. See the section on The Virginian for information about Housing Costs.
