ELIGIBILITY

All undergraduate students are required to have a health history and admitting physical examination on file to use the Student Health Service. These forms are required for initial admission to each of The Claremont Colleges and are important because they provide essential information about ongoing health care and past treatment. Failure to supply this information makes a student ineligible to use the service. Entrance physical exams can be done at the Student Health Service, for a fee, by appointment.

RECORDS

All students’ records are CONFIDENTIAL! Medical records are not made available to anyone (including parents) without the student’s permission. To receive medical records the Student Health Service needs to have a signed and dated authorization telling what to release and where to send the information. Please include the school attended and year of graduation. Include a phone number where you can be contacted in case of questions. Please be advised that a $5.00 copy and mailing fee is required prior to release of information for all Alumni. Payment should be either money order or cash (we do not recommend sending cash in the mail). We do not accept personal checks.

For current students a nominal copy fee will be assessed. Contact Student Health at (909) 621-8222 for charges.

You can send your authorization by mail, come in personally or fax your request to (909) 621-8472. Mailing address is: Student Health Service, Medical Records 757 College Way. Claremont, Ca 91711. Note: We do not fax medical records due to federal laws & confidentiality issues.

INSURANCE

It is strongly recommended that all students be covered by medical insurance to protect against the major costs of a severe illness or accident. Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna and Pitzer Colleges require each student to submit proof of coverage prior to registration. Most students are covered under their parent’s insurance policy. If you are not, you can purchase an insurance policy through the Claremont Colleges. An explanatory brochure with application form is available to all students through the Student Dean’s Office of your college or at the Student Health Service.
