FAQ

What are the guidelines for a storage pod on campus?
  • Storage pods can only stay for a maximum of 48 hours on campus. This is managed by Campus Safety and the times cannot be extended.
  • Pods can only be placed on Platt Ave in a Scripps parking space and cannot block street traffic.
  • Pods placed in unauthorized locations will be removed and any incurred charges will be billed to the student.
I have my own health insurance. Do I still need to enroll in SHIP?

Students may waive out of SHIP with proof of coverage through an insurance plan that meets The Claremont Colleges’ waiver criteria. For more information about the waiver process, please review the Student Insurance information.

Note that the mandatory SHIP requirement remains in place for international students within the United States and enrolled at Scripps College. International students are not eligible to waive SHIP.
