Health Insurance

ArtCenter offers health insurance for all students enrolled in degree programs, whether full-time or ArtCenter Lite. Students can waive their ArtCenter insurance if they can prove they have comparable coverage, as outlined in the waiver process guidelines.

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 Associate Dean of Students 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 Jessica.Krause@artcenter.edu.

Housing Resources

Although ArtCenter does not offer on-campus housing, we provide several resources to help incoming students find suitable living accommodations. ArtCenter does not investigate the quality or safety of the housing options available on these websites, nor do we get involved in disputes between landlords and students.
