All students are required to have health insurance while attending Colorado College and to provide annual proof of coverage. Most minors are covered by their parents' insurance, and so are not required to participate in the college's health insurance plan if they have other health coverage.

If a student elects coverage under a different plan, their health insurance must meet minimum criteria, which are available on the Student Health Insurance Plan website.

All students must either ENROLL or WAIVE the health insurance plan every year through the waiver portal.

More information is available with our Student Health Center. Costs for health insurance is adjusted and published every summer by the Student Health Center.
