Who is eligible to purchase the student health insurance plan?
Matriculated undergraduate and graduate students who are at least three-fourths or full time are eligible to purchase this plan. Matriculated students who are not currently registered, or who have requested a leave of absence, are not eligible to enroll in this plan. (“Matriculated” means that a student has been accepted into a degree-granting program at UMass Dartmouth. “Three-fourths-time” at UMass Dartmouth means at least 9 credits for undergraduate students and at least 7 credits for graduate students, 9 credits for law students.) In special circumstances, with the approval of the Director of Health Services, a graduate student taking 6 credits can be allowed to enroll in the insurance. Online courses can be counted toward the minimum number of credits; at least one class, however, must be on campus. Non-matriculated students (continuing education students) who meet minimum credit requirements may be permitted to purchase the school insurance; to enroll, they must pay a health fee
