Under Massachusetts law, all students who are enrolled in a degree or certificate program for nine or more credits must participate in the student health insurance program.

We are required to charge the insurance fee even if some or all of a student's nine or more credits are remote. Health insurance charges may be waived if the student has comparable coverage.

Student accounts must be paid in full for the term before the College can submit a student's name to the insurance company for coverage. This also applies for students enrolled in a payment plan and/or receiving financial aid. Once a student's name is submitted, an email will be sent to the student with instructions to access their health insurance ID card online.

For policy year 2025-2026, students will be insured by the Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO) Insurance Plan through our broker Gallagher Student Risk. Insurance is not charged for summer terms. Students should contact Gallagher directly for any questions related to benefits and coverage.

Fall 2025 — Coverage September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026 — $4,379
Spring 2026 — Coverage January 1, 2026 to August 31, 2026 — $2,919

Students enrolled in fewer than nine credits and dependents of students are not eligible for insurance coverage. If you are ineligible for the student health insurance plan, refer to the Massachusetts Health Connector website for alternative insurance options.

If you think you are eligible to be charged for the student health insurance, but you do not see the charge on your bill, please contact Student Financial Services.
