Other Billable Expenses

Hamilton College tuition insurance: All students are automatically billed for Hamilton College Tuition Insurance and must opt out if they want to waive the coverage. Detailed information on what the insurance covers, the cost, and how to opt out can be found on the Hamilton College website here. Opt-out dates are usually in early September for Fall and late January for Spring. 

 

Payment Schedule

The above fees do NOT cover the following: personal expenses, tips, passport and visa costs, trips not connected with Hamilton College Academic Year excursions, textbooks, study materials, or dry cleaning.

Due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and other unforeseen circumstances, these fees are considered tentative. Every effort will be made, however, to limit the charges to those stated above.

Students who apply and are accepted for the full academic year and who decide later (by Oct. 1 at the latest) to change to a fall-only status will be required to pay an additional $200 above the usual total fall payments. (This fee is necessary because of commitments the program has to make on an annual basis, and helps to defray extra costs incurred when such changes are made.)

Note: A student who is admitted for the fall term and who, while in Spain, desires admission to the full-year program, must submit an application to the Programs Abroad Committee prior to Oct. 1, and must have that application approved by the committee.

Note: Some Spanish consulates in the United States require proof of payment having been made in full before a student can obtain their visa. This may require some participants to pay prior to the official Hamilton program deadline.
