Hillsdale College requires that each student be covered under a health insurance plan. Before coming to campus, students may provide proof of insurance through Web Advisor on the Hillsdale College Student Portal. Students should log into their Hillsdale account and choose the insurance information link located at the left of the page under Applications. Any student not covered by health insurance cannot attend classes unless proof of coverage is provided or parents choose to sign a waiver prior to registration; the waiver form is available by writing to the office of the Dean of Men or Dean of Women before registration. If 30 days after registration a student has failed to comply with the health insurance requirement, that student will be removed from Hillsdale College classes and residence and will be officially withdrawn as a Hillsdale College student with monies forfeited.
Hillsdale College will not assume liability for any student not covered by a health insurance plan.
When receiving medical services on campus at the Ambler Health and Wellness Center, it is important to note that insurance will not be billed for these services. The total can be billed to the student account, or credit cards and some HSA debit cards can be used.
All students entering Hillsdale College for the first time shall complete an online medical history questionnaire. Dates of immunizations are important to include on this health form. Requirements include:
- • Diptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DTaP) within last 10 years
- • Meningitis ACWY (MenACWY) –1 dose 5 years or less before college entry
- • Meningitis B (MenB)—two doses

Please use the online health form submission for immunization records and waivers. If you have not or will not receive all of your vaccines, please initial by those that are not complete or need to be waived.
