Health Insurance
The Health Fee is NOT health insurance. The Health Fee covers ONLY the services offered at the SMC Health Services Center. Any expenses a student incurs for medical services are the sole responsibility of the student, and not the Santa Monica Community College District. Students can find written information about optional health and dental insurance programs at the front desk in the Health Services Center or on the Health Services webpage (www.smc.edu/healthcenter). International students should consult the International Education Center for information on health insurance.
