Registered students are required to have dental insurance — either through the Caltech Student Dental Insurance Plan or another source such as your parent’s employer. If you have other dental coverage, you can waive the Caltech plan (there are no specific waiver requirements).

The Caltech Student Health Insurance Plan does not cover dental care.
