Fall and Spring: September 12, 2008

Estimated Cost per Semester (08-09): $596
College of Liberal Arts (CLA) and Law Students:
All CLA students registered for at least 8 credits and all Law students registered for at least 2 credits are required to have health and accident insurance. These students are automatically enrolled in and charged for Hamline's health insurance coverage.
If students have their own policy, they must go online through Piperline to waive their insurance coverage. Students should allow 48 hours for processing and then check their student account on Piperline to verify that the waiver credit appears. If there are questions or concerns, please contact the SAS Office at 651-523-3000 or 800-888-2182.
If students do not go online to waive this fee by the specified semester deadline, they will be enrolled in Hamline's health insurance plan and will be responsible for the cost of that coverage (estimated at $596 per semester for the 08-09 academic year).
**Note that the insurance waiver will be in effect until a student leaves the university or requests in writing that the waiver be cancelled.**
Post-baccalaureate and Graduate Students:
Post-baccalaureate students registered for at least 4 credits and graduate students registered for at least 4 credits in a degree-seeking program are eligible to request health insurance coverage through Hamline. Qualified students must go online through Piperline to request coverage. The cost of the coverage (estimated at $596 per semester for the 08-09 academic year) will be added to their student account. Students should allow 24 hours for processing and then check their student account on Piperline to verify that the charge has been added.
The deadline for requesting health insurance coverage is September 12, 2008 for the academic year and February 19, 2009 for the spring semester only.
**Note that postbaccalaureate and graduate students must request coverage every academic year. No student is automatically re-enrolled from one year to the next.**
International Students:
International Students (all levels) enrolled at Hamline University are required to have Hamline's health insurance and are charged for the cost of that coverage. To waive this fee, the student must complete a special waiver request form through the student accounts office and provide proof of insurance that is effective in the United States.
**Note that the special waiver needs to be requested every academic year. No waiver will be carried over from one year to the next.**
