This fee enables students to use Medical, Counseling, and Health Education Services provided at The New School Student Health Services located at 135 East 12th Street, New York, NY 10003, 212.229.1671. Most services provided at Student Health Services are free of charge. The $250 per semester fee is mandatory for all undergraduates enrolled in (6) six or more credits and all students enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan regardless of their place of study (e.g. online only, study abroad, etc.). An undergraduate enrolled in (6) six or more credits CANNOT waive this fee. This fee also includes a Basic Accident Plan (Plan 1) required by the university. The Basic Accident Plan covers students worldwide up to $10,000 per occurrence. This accident coverage is required by all undergraduates (6+ credits) enrolled at The New School, even if the student has his/her own personal insurance.
