Students not completing the waiver process and providing private medical insurance information prior to September 3, 2021, are automatically enrolled in The Claremont Colleges student health insurance plan, and the student’s account will be charged with the current SHIP premium. The SHIP fee is reflected on your tuition bill. The premium for 2021-2022 is $2,782.
The College requires that proof of insurance be provided EACH year that you are an enrolled student. If waivers have not been submitted by September 3, 2021 you will be automatically enrolled and the premium amount will be charged to your student account.
