Health Insurance
Tuition Deferment Plan
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires students enrolled at least threequarter time (9 or more credits per semester) to be covered under an acceptable health insurance plan. A student enrolled at least three-quarter time will be automatically billed for the cost of the insurance. If the student has health insurance, he/she may waive enrollment in the College’s plan by completing a waiver online at www.university healthplans.com. Any student who is enrolled less than threequarter time is not required to enroll in the health insurance plan. All students taking at least three credits, however, are eligible to enroll. Students who are interested in enrolling in the health insurance plan may do so online at www.universityhealthplans.com. The 2011-2012 rates were $1,465 per year for undergraduate students and $3,013 for graduate students. The 2012-2013 rates will be available from University Health Plans in mid-May. Eligible students who enroll in the student health insurance plan may purchase insurance for their dependents as defined in the Student Health Insurance Brochure. Please see the brochure for eligibility requirements and rates.
The deferment plan requires students to pay 25% of the course tuition prior to the first day of class and allows the remaining 75% to be deferred until 30 days after the last day of the course. To enroll in the Deferment Plan, a fully complete Deferment Plan Promissory Note is required through the Office of Student Financial Services. This includes providing all required information related to the credit card authorization. Please note that if the credit card information is invalid, or the charge is otherwise declined for any reason, payment is due immediately. Additionally, this documentation must be updated prior to the start of classes at the beginning of each semester. Students planning to graduate must ensure the balance on their student account is paid in full prior to graduation and may not defer this payment.
