Health Insurance & Your Financial Aid
The amount for the health insurance is not included in the standard student budget because you can waive it and you have a choice of plans. If you will keep the BU health insurance AND you need to request financial aid to cover the cost, you may request to include it in your budget.
Sports Pass
The Sports Pass can be waived online through the MyBU Student portal before September 1 and in person at the Agganis Arena Ticketing Office after September 1. It is for tickets to home events, such as, ice hockey and basketball games – NOT a membership fee for FitRec.
