Full Time Tuition: Covers the instructional costs for a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 credit hours per semester. Students exceeding 18 credit hours per semester will be charged per additional credit.

Comprehensive Fee: Pays for services available to all students, such as: new student orientation, transfer credit evaluation, student activities, athletic facilities, original identification cards, graduation fees, and use of the College Health Center.

Room and Board: Includes the cost of room and a meal plan. All students residing on campus must be enrolled in the meal plan. Meal plan selection does not alter the cost of Room and Board. Students wishing to change their status from resident to commuter at any point in the academic year must petition Student Affairs in writing for (Room and Board, continued): release from the Housing Agreement. Students who change their status from resident to commuter after the add/drop period of a semester are responsible for the full room and board fee for that semester. Students who do not adhere to the policies in the Housing Agreement may be assessed penalty charges as outlined in the Housing Agreement. If you have questions about housing, please contact Student Affairs at (617) 243-2124.

Dorm Damage Deposit: Charged the first semester and credited back to the account at the end of each academic year; applied toward any individual and/or communal damage costs above normal wear and tear, as assessed by the Residence Life staff. The cost of unreturned keys will also be deducted from this deposit.

Accident and Sickness Insurance: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts mandates accident and sickness insurance coverage for all students enrolled in at least 9 credits per semester. Lasell College will initially bill all students for the insurance plan. Students who do not wish to purchase the plan may waive the fee by providing proof of enrollment in a plan with comparable coverage.

Waiver information must be provided prior to August 7, 2008. To complete the online waiver form, please fill out the Student Health Insurance Waiver Form. Complete the waiver form on the insurance company website. The charge for health insurance will be credited to the student’s account upon the College’s receipt of the waiver information, provided the information is submitted by the deadline.

Students who do not submit valid waiver information will be enrolled in the plan and are responsible for payment of the associated fee. Information sent to the Health Office, Registrar’s Office and/or Athletic Office regarding health coverage does not absolve the student of submitting proof of coverage via the online waiver process. Once purchased, the plan can only be cancelled if the student enrolls in the armed forces.

Allied Health Fee: Covers liability insurance, clinical placement and lab usage required for students enrolled in the following majors: Exercise Physiology, Exercise Science, Sports Science, Human Performance, and Athletic Training.
