Submit your photo for your ID card! Photos must be submitted on time or you will not have an ID card when you arrive on campus in August to access your residence hall or the dining hall. Deadline is August 9.
Please email your picture to [email protected] and cc me at [email protected].
Digital picture requirements:

MEDICAL INSURANCE INFORMATION
Medical insurance is mandatory for all students. All students will be automatically enrolled in the Claremont Colleges’ Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). To be eligible to waive out of SHIP, you must be currently enrolled in a health insurance plan that meets your school’s waiver requirements. Waiver requirements include being enrolled in a health insurance plan that meets the minimum essential benefits of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), requires you to have access to providers near campus and to have coverage for services beyond urgent and emergency services.
Please contact the Office of Student Affairs 909.607.2821 or email [email protected] if you believe you qualify to waive out of the plan. The deadline to waive out is September 3, 2021.
Students on exchange through ISEP have comparable insurance through ISEP. Please make sure you contact Katie Tewell before the deadline in order to waive.
Students on direct exchange must provide information about their insurance plan to Katie Tewell in the Office of Student Affairs in order to request a waiver.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Office of Student Affairs 909.607.2821 or e-mail [email protected]
STUDENT HEALTH AND ENTRANCE PHYSICAL
Your Entrance Physical & Immunization Records should be filled out and submitted directly to Claremont University Consortium (CUC) Student Health Services. Please review all the information thoroughly before submitting the completed form to CUC Student Health Services. You may choose to submit your completed form by mail or email to [email protected].
Please take a moment to visit the Student Health Services website as it contains important information such as the SHS forms including the entrance physical forms, psychiatric medication policy, and vaccine information. Although the Student Health Center is closed for the summer, you may access additional information regarding Student Health Services by visiting their website or calling and leaving a voicemail message at 909.621.8222 which is checked weekly.
If you are unable to complete your entrance physical before arriving at Pitzer, please make arrangements to do so at Student Health Services at the beginning of the semester.
