2023-2024 Plan Year
Dental and Vision Coverage
To print your insurance ID card and access information and benefits, visit the ArtCenter Aetna website. All you need is your student ID and your date of birth.
The student health insurance plan is a benefit of the College and may not be waived. If you have an existing insurance policy, the student health insurance plan becomes primary. Students with a dependent (spouse, child, or domestic partner) may apply for dependent coverage at https://artcenter.mycare26.com/. Dental and vision coverage is not included but may be added for an additional cost.
Classroom Accommodations
ArtCenter complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state and local requirements regarding students and applicants with disabilities. Under these laws, no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall be denied access to or participation in the services, programs and activities of the College.
Students who require disability-related accommodations (academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids) are encouraged to contact the CSE immediately upon acceptance, after being diagnosed with a disability, and each semester that they are enrolled. For questions regarding student disability support, required documents and the student disability policy, please see the Student Disability Services page or email CSE@artcenter.edu.

Although ArtCenter does not offer on-campus housing, we have a number of resources to help incoming students locate acceptable living accommodations. Feel free to access the off-campus housing website and other resources, but please note that ArtCenter does not investigate the quality or safety of the housing options available on these websites, nor does we get involved in disputes between landlords and students.
