Health Insurance

Every Trinity student is required to have adequate health insurance coverage. We offer a comprehensive student health plan through Aetna Student Health. If you already have health care coverage, you can waive the student health insurance fee by completing a form. More details about the rates and the waiver form are available here.

Study Away

Trinity operates several international program sites around the world where students receive a Trinity-caliber education. Students are billed a comprehensive fee for their semester away that covers tuition, housing, and additional experiences like study-related excursions and tours.  The comprehensive fee differs by program site depending on the cost of housing and whether meals are provided, self-catered, or a combination of each. Students and parents can find out the full fees for all programs and learn what is included in the fees by contacting the Office of Study Away at [email protected] or (860) 297-2005.
