Do I have to enroll in the College health insurance plan?
All students are required to carry health insurance. All students are billed for the insurance on the fall billing statement each year. If a student has coverage under a different plan, the charges will be removed upon the receipt of the completed online waiver form, thereby indicating waiver of coverage and listing the plan under which the student is covered. Visit our Student Health Insurance page for more details.

My work-study award does not appear as a credit on my billing statement — why not?
A work-study award allows a student to earn wages from a part-time job in order to help pay for college.
The work award does not appear as a credit on the student account; instead, the student is allowed to begin the semester still owing this amount.
Students are responsible for making regular payments throughout the semester in order to have the work-study balance paid in full by the time the semester ends.
Students choose whether to credit their earnings to their student account, to have them direct deposited to a bank account, or a combination of the two.
