Accident Insurance:
Gaston College does not have insurance to cover students if they are injured on the Gaston College campus or in a college-related activity. It is advisable, therefore, that students, especially those in areas that could be considered to be potentially hazardous, make certain they have appropriate coverage under a personal accident policy or that of a parent.
For those who find they do not have accident insurance coverage, information on a student insurance program is available from the Business Office.
