Why was I automatically enrolled in the Lesley University health insurance plan?

Because of the requirements outlined below, Lesley University auto-enrolls any student that meets these requirements and is deemed eligible for the Lesley University Health Insurance Plan. If you can prove that your health insurance plan provides the comprehensive coverage that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts mandates, you may waive the University health plan.

"According to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Lesley University policy, all undergraduate students registered for 9 credits or more must be covered by a comprehensive health insurance program.  Also, any on-campus graduate students registered for 6 credits or more must be covered by a comprehensive health insurance program.

Lesley has a general health insurance program available, which meets the standards of the Commonwealth as well as those put forth in the national Affordable Care Act."
