Overview
Per CCA policy, all students who are degree seeking and registered for courses, are automatically charged for and enrolled in the CCA student insurance plan. In order to waive this requirement, students must submit an approved insurance waiver that meets all of CCA's minimum requirements, by the established deadline - which is typically aligned with the end of the Add/Drop period.
Students on an approved leave of absence (for medical reasons) - please refer to Student Insurance Requirement & Eligibility Policy.
New Policy Effective Fall 2025
All degree-seeking students, regardless of the number of registered units, will be automatically enrolled in and charged for CCA student insurance unless a waiver is submitted and approved by the deadline.
To review/confirm your enrollment or waiver status, please visit jcbins.com to log into your student account.
