Health Insurance

$618 Coverage provided from January 1, 2012 - August 31st 2012 (can be waived if you have comparable health insurance)

Massachusetts' Universal Health Insurance Law requires that all students who are enrolled in 9 more credits participate in a comprehensive health insurance plan. Under this law, students will be charged annually for health insurance when they enroll in nine or more credits hours.

Students charged for health insurance must either pay or waive the charge (if they have proof of comparable coverage).

PLEASE NOTE: Programs such as Free Care, insurance provided by companies from outside the United States, Commonwealth Care, and Mass Health (if you are a dependent of your parent) cannot be used to waive this requirement.
