Health Insurance

The Health Insurance requirement at Framingham State College is based on the Massachusetts General Law Chapter 15A, Section 28, which requires all full-time students (any day/night combination of three or more courses) to participate in a health insurance plan.

To fulfill this requirement you may either:

1. Apply for the Framingham State College Health Insurance Plan, 

                                   OR

2. Show evidence of a comparable or better health insurance plan of your choice. If you choose this option, you must complete a student Health Insurance Waiver attached to the FSC website . The insurance waiver must be submitted every year.

The Health Insurance Waiver page is available by clicking below.    Returning students are also asked to complete the waiver online.  Waivers should be completed online when tuition payment has been submitted.

Students failing to show proof of Health Insurance; either by submitting a waiver, or by purchasing the FSC Insurance Plan, are subject to withdrawal from  classes. In addition,  registration for future classes will be withheld.
