STCC Student Accounts Office - 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. Please note, the last day to waive the student health insurance for the Spring 2010 semester is January 25, 2010 (the first day of classes).
The policy is effective from January 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010. The insurance company will not process any claims until the student's bill is paid in full. In order for the insurance company to process all insurance claims, a student's bill must be paid in full by June 1, 2010.
