Health Insurance Requirements
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective September 1, 1989, requires each student carrying nine (9) credits or more to participate in the student health insurance program.
For further information on the student health insurance you can go to web page www.state.ma.us/dhcfp. If a student has comparable coverage and wishes to waive participation in the Massachusetts Community College insurance plan, the student must complete a waiver form showing comparable coverage.
The student health insurance may be waived on-line at www.universityhealthplans.com. Click on Massachusetts Community Colleges, Springfield Technical Community College, Student Accident and Sickness Plan, Waiver Form. Please note, the last day to waive the student health insurance for the Spring 2008 semester is February 29, 2008.
