All Whittier College students will automatically be enrolled in Whittier's insurance plan through Aetna's healthcare administered by Volta Health unless they waive that coverage and have other comparable insurance.
Students who wish to enroll in the Whittier Health Plan plan may do so during the open enrollment period. This plan provides comprehensive and continuous coverage that lasts year-round from August 1 through July 31 of the current academic year. For an additional cost, this plan may cover your spouse, registered domestic partner, and/or your children.
Students who are covered as dependents on another health insurance plan may continue that coverage during their time at Whittier College as long as their other plan provides coverage similar to that offered by the College’s plan.
Students seeking to waive the College-sponsored student health plan must do so during the open enrollment period.
Failing to enroll in or waive the College's health plan will result in automatic enrollment in the College’s plan and a charge to the student’s account for the full cost of the College’s plan.
All students are eligible to receive medical care during the summer so long as the $250 health fee has been paid. You do not need to be enrolled at Whittier College for the summer session to be eligible to receive care through our clinic.
This health fee is waived under the following conditions:
1. If you are receiving services for health clearance for college health entrance.
2. For continuity of care for services rendered in a previous semester.
3. If you are currently enrolled for the summer session at Whittier College.
Students who have graduated are no longer eligible to receive care at the Student Health & Wellness Center.
