Accepted Student To Do List:

Mail in your deposit to hold your place in the entering class. The deposit amount is $200 if you are going to be a commuter and $500 if you are planning to be a resident student.

Complete the financial aid process. If you have not received a financial aid award, call the financial aid office to find out what items are missing from your file. Do not assume that everything is done unless you have an award in hand.

Fill out and return the Housing Agreement and Roommate Preference form. Rooms are assigned based upon deposit date.

Make an appointment with your primary care physician for a complete physical. While at your appointment, have your doctor update your immunizations to meet state regulations. Return completed health and immunization records as soon as possible.

Return insurance information/enrollment forms to the Health Services Office.All students must have health insurance. Fisher College does not accept health insurance from foreign countries or hospital-based community plans. If you receive health benefits from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, please be aware that you must have your own MassHealth account by the age of 19. Most out-of-state HMOs are not valid in MA. If your health insurance is from a state outside of Massachusetts, please forward a copy of your coverage for our review. If no insurance waiver is received by the first day of school, you will be billed for Fisher's Student Health Plan.

Confirm payment in full. Most students need to access student and/or parent loans to pay their bill in full. This process can take a number of weeks for credit approval. Confirm with both the financial aid office and the bursar that your loan or payment plan has been approved and guaranteed. Do not wait until the last minute to confirm payment.
