Financial Aid:

If you have financial aid please contact the student accounts office to inform us you will be using your financial aid as credit towards your account. Financial aid must be approved and accepted to be used as credit.

Tuition Waivers & Vouchers:

If you plan to use a tuition waiver or voucher as partial payment for your course(s) the form must be remitted at time of registration, or within seven days. If the form is not remitted within the seven days, you will be responsible for paying for the tuition that has been assessed to your account. It is important to check with your human resource department to determine your eligibility. Not all tuition waivers apply to non-state funded programs, such as those offered through Graduate and Continuing Education. Note: Tuition waivers, remissions and vouchers do not apply to Life Long Learning courses, conferences, teleconferences, selected distance learning courses, courses by arrangement or professional development seminars and lectures sponsored by Graduate and Continuing Education.

Massachusetts state law requires that all undergraduate students registered for 9 or more semester hours, and graduate students registered for 6.75 or more credits have health insurance.
