Student Health Insurance

SCC recommends seeking health and accident insurance if you're not adequately covered.

International students who were admitted on an F-1 visa are required to show proof of insurance prior to registration.

Health insurance is required for anyone competing in intercollegiate athletics or club sports. Students traveling on college-sponsored trips must provide the club advisor with a copy of the insurance card, in case of emergency.

Board policy: 444 Insurance Information for Students

Communicable Diseases

Immunization Against Communicable Diseases

Before registering for classes at SCC, it's recommended you're immunized for measles and rubella.

Certain immunizations are required for admission to selected health programs. Call 636-922-8280 for details about specific programs.

Communicable Diseases and Blood-Borne Pathogens

If you have a chronic communicable disease(s), you may attend college when, through reasonable accommodation, the risk of transmission of the disease and/or the risk of further injury to the student is sufficiently remote, in such setting so as to be outweighed by the detrimental effects resulting from the student's exclusion from the college.

Board policy: Article V.01 Emergency Response (Procedures)

Possession or use of firearms – concealed or in sight – or any explosives, dangerous chemicals or other weapons are prohibited on college property and at college-sponsored or supervised functions.
