WAIVABLE FEES
Students enrolled in 9 or more credits are required by Massachusetts law to have health insurance coverage. Eligible students must either enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan or submit an online waiver with comparable coverage by the published deadline. Students who do not waive by the deadline will be automatically enrolled and billed for the plan. All plan information, deadlines, and waiver forms are available through the University Health Plans website.
Blazer Book Link provides students with access to required course materials each semester. Students will receive important program information, including fees, deadlines, and opt-out instructions, through their Elms email account at the time of registration and before the start of classes. Watch for emails with subject lines such as “Welcome to Blazer Book Link” and “Your Order is Ready for Pick-Up.
All student vehicles parked on campus must display a valid parking permit. Permits are available through Public Safety and are required regardless of how often you park on campus. Parking permit regulations are enforced Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. while classes are in session. Students who are only on campus outside of enforcement hours may request a waiver of the parking fee.

Financial Aid for Graduate Students
We recognize the fact that financing a graduate education is a significant investment for students and their families, but especially in today’s economy, an advanced degree just might be your ticket to a stable career.
While it is the responsibility of the student to pay college expenses prior to the beginning of each semester, Elms College is aware that many families may require financial assistance. Completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa enables you to begin financing your graduate education. The Elms College code for FAFSA is 002140. If you have provided the Elms College code, the Department of Education will forward an electronic copy of your completed FAFSA to the college.
