Massachusetts State Law requires health insurance for all students carrying nine (9) or more credit hours, and for all students in the Health Profession Programs regardless of credit load. Charges may be waived online if you are covered by a comparable policy.
You can submit a waiver online in Bay Navigator. Waivers should be submitted before paying your bill. All waivers must be completed prior to add/drop period ending, otherwise the charge will remain on your bill and payment will be required.

If you plan to waive the insurance, please do so as soon as possible to ensure the charges are removed. It may take up to 24 hours for your bill to update once the waiver has been submitted.
Once the waiver is submitted, your bill should update within 24 hours. To confirm the charges have been removed, you can review your account activity in Bay Navigator.
To be enrolled in the health insurance policy offered by MassBay, you must pay the health insurance fee in full by the bill due date.
The annual coverage is for the period beginning September 1st through August 31st. The Spring coverage is for the period January 1st through August 31st.
