For visiting students
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1 Do I need an I-20?
You need an I-20 if you come for any program with 18+ hours of instruction per week. An I-20 is issued by UCR IEP after you’ve been accepted.

Yes, you are required to purchase the UC Extension Student Injury and Sickness insurance plan, even if you have your own policy.
