All full and part-time students taking six or more credit hours are eligible to participate in a student accident and sickness insurance plan for a fee. Students enrolled in the accident and sickness plan may also join a dental or vision insurance plan. You can pick up insurance brochures and claim forms in the Dean of Students office at 623 South Wabash Avenue, Suite 301.

All international students are eligible and are automatically enrolled in the Columbia College Chicago’s International Student Accident and Sickness Insurance. The plan includes a discount vision plan through EyeMed Vision Care, and a dental savings program through Basix. Insured students may opt to enroll their dependent children or spouse residing with them in the U.S. for an additional charge. Students not wishing to be enrolled in the International Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan must formally apply for a “waiver”. Waiver procedures and deadlines are outlined in the insurance brochure. Waivers must be approved to avoid being charged for the insurance. For more information, please contact the Office of International Student Affairs at 312.344.7458.
