Insurance

Every full-time student enrolled at Hope College is required to carry health insurance. We have partnered with Wellfleet Insurance Group to assist in managing the requirement and enrollment in the Hope College Student Health Insurance Plan. This process is coordinated by Hope College Business Services (businesservices@hope.edu). You may contact them directly with any questions or concerns.

Students who do not waive the plan by providing proof of existing health insurance coverage will be automatically enrolled in the college plan, and the health insurance charge will be billed to each student’s account.

You have two options outlined below:

1. Waive

If you have existing health insurance coverage, you can waive the Hope College Student Health Insurance Plan.

Submitting an Insurance Waiver

1. Visit Wellfleet’s school page for Hope College students.
2. Upload a copy of your current health insurance ID card.
3. Save your confirmation number for future reference.
4. Waiver requests will be reviewed by Wellfleet within 3 business days.
5. If approved, you will receive an email confirmation and the charge on your student account will be removed within another 5–7 business days.
6. If denied, another email will include additional instructions. The charge will remain on the student account until an approved waiver has been received.

Interested students can select to enroll in the Hope College student health insurance plan. Students who do not waive the plan will be enrolled and the health insurance charge will be automatically billed to each student’s account.
