All students who attend SUNYIT pay a health fee for the campus health services. Most on-campus health services are provided free of charge for all students.
All international students must pay an International Health Insurance Fee of $994.75 per year, which enrolls the student in HTH Worldwide Insurance. This charge is part of mandatory fees and is mandated for all international students attending any SUNY institution. This insurance provides international students with access to health care anywhere in the US. In addition, it enables international students to access health care in the local community during the hours that the Health Center is not open. Coverage is also available for dependents.
