Students must be enrolled in their existing policy prior 9/01/24 to be eligible to complete the waiver. Waivers are subject to University Health Plan’s approval. The charge for the College’s annual policy may remain/be reassessed if the student’s existing coverage doesn’t meet the Commonwealth’s coverage requirements.
Graduate and C.E. Students
Since September 1989, Massachusetts law, G.L. c.15A has required every college student participating in at least 75% of full-time curriculum to participate in a Student Health Insurance Program or in a health plan with comparable coverage. Therefore, all Graduate Students enrolled in six or more credits, per semester and all Continuing Education Students enrolled in nine or more credits, per semester, are automatically charged the Student Health Insurance Fee. If the student is already enrolled in a comparable health insurance plan, the student must fill out an online waiver form. The online Health Insurance Waiver Form can be found on this page under Student Health Insurance Forms. If you do not submit the online waiver form by the deadline below, you will be automatically enrolled in the College’s Student Health Insurance Plan and responsible for the fee.
The Graduate Student Health Insurance Fee is $3,031, and will be charged on the Fall bill. Annual coverage is effective 8/01/24 – 7/31/25. The deadline to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan is September 13, 2024.
Students must be enrolled in their existing policy prior 9/01/24 to be eligible to complete the waiver. Waivers are subject to University Health Plan’s approval. The charge for the College’s annual policy may remain/be reassessed if the student’s existing coverage doesn’t meet the Commonwealth’s coverage requirements.
