Important 1098-T Information

Hamilton College issues the 1098-T form to students for tax reporting purposes. This form will be mailed to the student's primary mailing address by January 31. It is not available online.

Please note: if your student graduated in Spring 2017, he/she will not receive a 1098-T form. Hamilton reports tuition according to the year when it is billed, not paid. (i.e. Spring term 2017 was billed in Nov. 2016).

Electronic Tuition Statement

First-year students will receive a paper bill in July. After that time, tuition bills will be available exclusively online each month.

You must sign up to receive your electronic tuition statement. Visit the View/Pay Tuition page by July 1 to enroll. Students must sign up first. Once enrolled, the student must follow the instructions to set up his or her parents.

Please note that this statement is a snapshot in time. An email will be sent each month to both the student and the authorized payer when an updated statement is ready to view.

This waiver must be completed annually. Please complete the waiver by July 1 to avoid unnecessary charges.

Tuition Insurance Plan

The Tuition Insurance Plan minimizes the financial loss if an illness or accident requires your son or daughter to withdraw from college before the semester is completed. This insurance plan provides coverage for tuition, room and board charges.

In order to reduce the cost of the annual premium, students are automatically enrolled in the plan and billed for half of the annual premium at the start of each academic year. Students may opt out of the insurance by completing an online waiver here. The annual premium for 2018-19 is $352.
