Will I receive a refund if I drop from 15 credits to 12 credits?
A student carrying 12 or more credits is billed at the full-time flat tuition rate. As there is no additional charge for credits in excess of 12, there is no refund if those credits are reduced from 15 to 12.

Do I have to accept the college health insurance?
If you are already covered by a comparable health insurance policy and have completed the online waiver process by the published deadline, then the SSC health insurance charge will be waived off your account. Otherwise, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires you to carry the college's insurance. See Student Health Insurance for details.
 

I have set up a payment plan with TMS. Why do I keep receiving a bill?
Because it is a payment plan and not a loan we will receive your payments from TMS on a monthly basis and apply them to your bill. Periodically, we will mail you a copy of your statement, which will show these payments deducted from your outstanding balance.
