CIA California Student Health Services

Mandatory Medical Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

Every student is required to submit a complete physical examination on the mandatory CIA Physical Examination Form, with required immunizations, a copy of your health insurance card, and all required papers 30 days prior to Arrival Day at CIA. Students will not be permitted in class unless the complete mandatory CIA Physical Examination Form and required documentation is submitted.

Immunization Requirements

California School Immunization Law requires proof of two MMR vaccinations given on or after the first birthday, and Meningitis vaccination. CIA also requires vaccination against hepatitis A. Vaccination against hepatitis B and meningitis is recommended but not required.

While on Campus

For minor injuries on CIA Greystone’s campus, there are first aid kits available in all teaching kitchens and residence halls. First aid is provided on campus by the Office of Safety and Security. For more serious injuries, students will need to first phone 707-963-6491, then visit JobCare, which is located five minutes away in the emergency room at St. Helena Hospital, 10 Woodland Hill, St. Helena, CA. The cost of non-routine treatment, off-campus doctor visits, prescriptions, medications, and vaccines will be your responsibility. Please report hospital emergency room visits to the Office of Safety and Security.

Health Insurance

CIA has incorporated a mandatory annual student health insurance plan through United Health Care beginning September 1, 2022. The plan is offered to all domestic and international fulltime students. Domestic students may waive out of the health insurance plan by providing proof of current, comparable health insurance coverage through a family or individual plan. International students are not eligible to opt out and must enroll in the plan offered by CIA. Cost of insurance for students starting in the spring or summer semester will be pro-rated accordingly. For more details about coverage and enrollment, please contact Haylor, Freyer, & Coon at 866-535-0456 or email [email protected].

Students taking the Global Cuisines and Cultures trip are encouraged to review international travel insurance options.
