Installment Payment Plan

Hamilton has partnered with Blackboard/CASHNet to provide an installment Payment Plan (IPP) option for the 2025-26 academic year.

• IPP Enrollment is by semester and should be completed by July 24 as the first payment will be due by July 25.
• An administration fee of $35 is charged per semester. 
• Enrollment will be open at the time of billing, at which time instructions on how to access the enrollment site will be sent by email to all students as well as previously enrolled payers.
• A convenience fee of 2.85% of the amount charged is applied for domestic cards and 4.25% for international cards. 
• The minimum service fee for card transactions over $20 and less than $106 will be $3.

These fees are processed by CashNet directly and are not received to Hamilton College.

Late Payment Policy

Semester charges are billed in July and in December. Semester charges are due in August and January, respectively. If payment is not received by the due date, a 1% per month or 12% per annum late fee will be assessed. 

The College must receive the FULL AMOUNT DUE on or before the due date indicated on the bill. If full payment is not received by the due date, a late payment fee may be assessed, and future registration and continuing enrollment may not be permitted.

Student Health Insurance

Hamilton College requires that all students have some form of health insurance coverage. Students who enroll at Hamilton will be billed a proposed annual premium for 2025-26 of $3,361 for the Hamilton College Student Health Insurance Plan unless they submit an online waiver and provide proof of alternate coverage. This waiver must be completed annually. Please complete the waiver to avoid unnecessary charges.

$3,361 (Insurance Carrier Rate - $3,226.56 + Broker Fee - $134.44);

Fall-only premium is $1,409 (Insurance Carrier Rate - $1,352.64 + Broker Fee - $56.36);

Spring-only premium is $1,952 (Insurance Carrier Rate - $1,873.92 + Broker Fee - $78.08)

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. The annual premium for 2025-26 is $500.
