Medical Insurance Requirement

All F-1 visa international students enrolled at Cerritos College are mandated and required to purchase medical insurance through the college-approved carrier. Once you are accepted, a hold will be placed on your student records and released once you purchase your medical insurance. 


when to pay for medical insurance

Newly Admitted Students: Pay for medical insurance after your academic orientation and before registration.

Current Students: Pay for medical insurance prior to your enrollment date to avoid having a hold placed on your student record.

International students can purchase their medical insurance by credit card and enroll online.
