Mandatory Health Insurance
All students must have medical health insurance as a non-academic condition of enrollment.

Students access health services through local medical practitioners, hospitals, and clinics. Students should know which local health care providers accept their health insurance plan. Students should be prepared to assume the cost of care above and beyond that covered by their insurance.

Student Medical History Information
New students are required to fill out a Medical History form and to send it to the Admissions office. Forms and instructions will be sent to entering students well in advance of registration. In addition, they are available at the Admissions office. Information submitted to the Admissions office will be kept confidential and will be carefully reviewed to help provide individualized health care. Students are urged also to submit a physical examination form completed by their family physician, particularly if they plan to take part in athletics.

Hepatitis B Immunization:
The State of California mandates that first-time enrollees who are eighteen years of age or younger provide proof of full immunity against Hepatitis B prior to their enrollment. All students who accept JP Catholic’s offer of admission, and who will still be under eighteen years old by the beginning of the Fall Quarter, will receive the Hepatitis B information in the mail. The immunization consists of a series of three vaccinations. Students can receive further information from their health care provider or county health department.

Psychological and Counseling Services
Psychological and Counseling referrals will be provided proactively by the Dean of Students to meet the wide array of personal difficulties that may interfere with the student’s academic success. The counseling relationship is private and confidential.
