Dear Returning undergraduate student,
All Tufts students are required to have health insurance (it’s a Massachusetts state law).
All students are automatically enrolled in and billed for the student health insurance plan offered through Tufts University.
If you are covered by a separate policy through a U.S.-based insurance company that meets comparable coverage requirements please apply for a waiver. If your waiver is approved, the student health insurance premium will be removed from your account.
If you do not request a waiver by July 31, you will be charged for and enrolled in the student health insurance for this year. Disenrollment and/or refunds are not available after July 31. Voluntary disenrollment is only available upon entering the armed forces.
Also, if there is no option for a waiver in your SIS account, the student health insurance has not been assessed to you because of your status. For example, post-baccalaureate students and part-time students with less than 7 credits are not charged.
If you have already waived between June 1 and July 31, 2024, no further action is needed. If your waiver was approved, you can check your SIS account to see that the premium was credited.
You can learn more on our Student Health Insurance website.
