STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE CHARGES
Students must waive or enroll in the college’s health insurance plan, for terms in which you are enrolled in 9 credits or more. See more information on the “Health + Safety” page under CAMPUS RESOURCES on the main drop down menu.
Costs for summer health insurance are based on dates students are on campus; charges are for every month that has any course or campus activities. Students who then enroll in 7 or more credits, and who enroll in college health insurance, will have a prorated bill for August coverage.

REFUND POLICIES
Summer: For a 100% refund of a credit-bearing course, submit a request to drop the course in writing to Registrar, Jonathan Rand at jrand@massart.edu, prior to the day of the 2nd course meeting. As of the day of the 2nd class meeting, there is no refund.
Fall and Spring: Graduate programs follow the college’s fall and spring add/drop and refund deadlines and policies. The course add/drop deadline for fall is September 19, 2023 per the Academic Calendar. Note that if students drop a course during the add/drop period, a 100% refund is granted only if they remain enrolled in their graduate program with at least 1 course. After the add/drop period, there is no refund.
If a student needs to unexpectedly withdraw from all program courses for fall or spring, they must do so prior to the start of the term, in writing (email) to the registrar, for a full refund. See the Withdrawal & Refund Policy. For fall 2023, by 9/4/2023, students must email Jonathan Rand to drop courses for a full refund. Students email Elizabeth Smith-Freedman, at esmith-freedman@massart.edu, in the Academic Resource Center (ARC) requesting a Leave of Absence or Withdrawal form. They should also email their Program Director and Nadia Savage at nsavage@massart.edu.
Note that in all of these policies, non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal, nor a cancellation of tuition and fees.
