Tuition insurance is available through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. An explanation of the tuition insurance program and application is mailed to enrolled students in late spring. If you decide to purchase this coverage and your student is forced to withdraw due to illness, accident, or other medical reasons, the protection afforded by the plan will be a welcome resource.

Colgate requires that students have health and accident insurance coverage. Students who enroll at Colgate will be billed for the Colgate Student Group Health Insurance unless they provide proof of alternate coverage. It is the responsibility of the student and/or their family to update the university when changes in coverage occur. Insurance information is requested by the university each year in June.

†† All first-year students are required to live in a traditional residence hall.

††† First-year students must enroll in the Premier Unlimited plan. Upperclass students living in traditional residence halls and all sophomores (regardless of their housing option) must choose either of the unlimited plans or the 14 meal plan.
