Do I need to purchase health insurance?

By Massachusetts state law, some students who register for college courses may be required to purchase health insurance if they are not covered by a comparable health insurance policy. The deadline to waive your health insurance charge is located here.

All students who are enrolled in 9 or more credits in a semester, or who plan to enroll in 9 or more credits in a semester (generally 3 courses), are required to have basic health insurance. By law, Quincy College automatically charges all students who are registered for 9 or more credits with this health insurance fee. Coverage is $25,000. Additional coverage may be purchased at additional cost.

Health Insurance is required for all students who have clinical placements (nursing, surgical technology, etc) regardless of whether they are part-time or full-time.

If a student has comparable health insurance (most HMO and PPO plans qualify), then the student must click here to complete a waiver online for the College to remove these charges from the student's account.

Visit www.universityhealthplans.com for more information about the health insurance waiver. If you have any questions, please contact the Quincy College Business Office at (617) 984-1630.

NOTE: The Massachusetts Free Care Program (Free Care) is not acceptable as qualified student health insurance.
