Student Insurance: The College provides students with limited secondary accident insurance coverage in the event of an injury occurring in the course of a college class or activity.  All such accidents should be reported immediately to the instructor or staff member in charge of the class or activity, or the Human Resources Office.  It is the student's responsibility to file any insurance claims with their primary carrier, then with the secondary accident insurance. 

Students may purchase additional low-cost health insurance to cover general medical needs.  Applications and general information on low-cost health insurance are available in the Human Resources Office.
