Medical Insurance
Effective fall 2008, Pomona College requires all incoming students to carry health insurance. Students can either enroll in the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan (SASIP) of the Claremont Colleges or waive out if they carry comparable alternative insurance (waiver forms will be required each year you are an enrolled student). The SASIP plan covers medical expenses off campus, such as hospitalization, surgery, and accidental injury. Information about the policy can be obtained through the Office of Student Affairs or at www.renstudent.com/claremont . Continuing students do not need to show proof of insurance, but every student should be covered by medical insurance — whether a family policy, other coverage, or this policy. For continuing students, health insurance is required prior to participation in varsity or club sports, or participating in OTL trips. If a student needs insurance but cannot afford it, the Financial Aid Office may be able to help. Contact the Financial Aid office at extension 18205.

The Department of Campus Safety of The Claremont Colleges located at 251 E. 11th Street, has 22 full-time and 28 part-time employees, specifically trained and responsible for a full range of public safety services including: crime reports; apprehension and arrest of suspects; response to fire and medical emergencies; and escort services.
