Enrollment Status and Financial Aid Eligibility

  • Part-time enrollment: 1-2 courses (3-6 credits per semester)
  • Full-time enrollment: 3 or more courses (9 or more credits per semester)

To be eligible for federal financial aid, graduate students must be enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester.

Health insurance requirement

Massachusetts State Health Insurance Law requires students enrolled in 6 or more credits during the fall or spring semester to maintain minimal medical coverage and obligates universities to enforce this requirement. All students are billed for student medical insurance; however, students may waive this charge by demonstrating comparable medical coverage. Enrollment or waiver completed in the fall semester remains valid for the spring semester.

The enrollment/waiver link will be available in the Student Account Center under Other Services once Fall 2026 bills are released.

The 2026-2027 student health insurance rate has not yet been determined. For reference, the 2025–2026 annual rate was $4,321.00.
