9/17/2021 Academic Affairs Weekly Student Update
Greetings Cambridge College Students:
We hope you are doing well and settling into the fall term. If you have not yet registered, you still can register for classes that start later in the term. Reach out to your advisor/success coach to learn what classes are still available and fit into your program plan.
Health Insurance Waivers
VERY IMPORTANT: If you have health insurance and are taking classes in Massachusetts, you will need to complete the health insurance waiver so you are not charged for health insurance. You must do this by September 30, 2021. For more information, visit this page>>.
