Billing Authorization Form
The Billing Authorization form is required by Federal Law to be on file in order for the college to release any financial information to individuals other than the student.
The form authorizes Grinnell College to provide billing information to designated individuals and provides direction on how to handle credit balances. The form must be completed in order for the college to release any information to people other than the student.

Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan
All students are required to carry health insurance. Students may enroll in an optional college group supplemental insurance plan. All students are billed for the insurance on the pre-registration statement. If a student has coverage under a different plan, the charges will be removed upon receipt of the completed enrollment/waiver form indicating waiver of coverage and listing the plan under which the student is covered.
The enrollment/waiver form is available here.
Damage Deposit
All Grinnell students will make a $100.00 damage deposit which is separate from the advance tuition deposit and is included as a charge on the pre-registration statement. This deposit serves as a key deposit and breakage deposit for the residence halls and for any fines or charges at the end of each semester. Prior to registration each fall semester, the $100.00 level will be replenished. The unused deposit plus interest will be returned upon graduation or withdrawal from the college.
Telephone Access
Students living in college-owned housing are provided local telephone service.
The Pioneer One-Card
The Pioneer One-Card has a debit account option, allowing the card to be used on campus to make purchases without carrying cash. Funds from that account are required to operate the laundry machines and can also be used at the College Bookstore, vending machines, Marketplace and the Spencer Grill. When on campus, students can add money to their account at the Cashier Office or at a cash value machine in the Joe Rosenfield '25 Center.
