*Health Insurance
Massachusetts law requires all students who are enrolled in at least 75 percent of the full-time curriculum (9 credits) to carry medical insurance
Health Insurance will not initially be included in the initial Cost of Attendance. If you are required to pay out of pocket for health insurance, adjustments can be made to the COA after the fact. Review the Health Insurance page for coverage options.
