• Yes. Per CCA policy, all degree-seeking students who are registered at 12 or more units per semester (9 units per term for all graduate students) must have comprehensive health insurance coverage through CCA’s student health plan with Aetna or an approved waiver that meets the minimum requirements to waive out of CCA’s student health plan for the academic year.
• For full-time students who are enrolled in the CCA student health plan. An insurance fee is charged at registration each semester.
• See Student Health Insurance Fees & Eligibility

• Students who initially register for 12 units per term (or 9 units per term for graduate students), but who subsequently reduce their units to fewer than 12 units per term (or fewer than 9 units per term for graduate students) by dropping one or more courses during the add/drop period will lose eligibility for coverage under CCA’s health insurance plan.
• Conversely, students who initially register for fewer than 12 units per term (or fewer than 9 units per term for graduate students) and then subsequently increase to 12 or more units per term (or more than 9 units per term for graduate students) before the end of the add/drop period will be required to enroll in CCA’s student health insurance plan or provide proof of insurance coverage by completing an insurance waiver.

• Please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at healthinsurance@cca.edu immediately for assistance.
• Students may be eligible for special enrollment periods, allowing to enroll in the CCA health insurance plan outside the open enrollment period for health coverage.
