- Hamilton College requires that all enrolled students carry valid health insurance coverage. Students who enroll at Hamilton will be billed an annual premium of $2483.76 for the Hamilton College Student Health Insurance Plan unless they submit an online waiver and provide proof of alternate coverage. Coverage cannot be waived after September 1, 2023. Once enrolled in the insurance plan, coverage will stay in effect for the policy term of August 13, 2023-August 12, 2024.
- Eligible financial aid students who have been billed the student health insurance premium may receive an additional grant to offset a portion of the student health insurance premium. The Financial Aid Office will notify students directly regarding their insurance grant eligibility; no action is required by the student. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility for a student health insurance grant, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 1-800-859-4413.
