*For more information please visit Student Health Insurance.

Massachusetts State Law requires ALL full or three quarter time students at Lesley University to participate in the school sponsored Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan or have an alternate insurance plan with comparable coverage. (Please note: Student status as full or three quarter time for the semester will be determined as of the last date of the add/drop period) To comply, students must either enroll in a Lesley-sponsored student health insurance plan, or provide proof of enrollment in an alternate qualifying insurance plan by logging into LOIS and selecting the Health Insurance link found under the Financial menu. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the alternate insurance is adequate. Students must submit a waiver/enrollment form by September 15th for the fall semester or January 15th for the spring semester once per academic year. Late waivers will not be accepted.

  • On-Campus Students
    Any on-campus student who meets the above criteria will be required to participate in the waiver/enrollment process. Students are notified of this requirement via email to their lesley.edu email address during the waiver/enrollment period.
  • Low Residency Students
    Students enrolled in short-term courses (defined as no more than 15 days of classes for each semester or 30 days total for the entire school year) do not participate in the student health program and therefore do not need to go through the insurance waiver process.
  • Students who are not required to participate in the enrollment/waiver process may still be eligible to obtain coverage during the enrollment period. Please contact studentinsurance@lesley.edu for more information on obtaining coverage.
