Immunization Records
Massachusetts State Law requires all full-time students who enroll in one of the State's public or private colleges or universities to be immunized against diptheria, tetanus, measles, mumps and rubella, hepatitis B and meningitis. To ensure that you comply with the health requirements of the State, please review the following information and complete and return the necessary forms as soon as possible:
Graduate Student Immunization Record
Tuberculosis Risk Questionnaire
Meningococcal Disease and Vaccination Sheet/Waiver Form
Health Insurance
Massachusetts State Law mandates that all full-time students are enrolled in either the University's Student Health Insurance Plan or have provided documentation of coverage by a private health insurance plan. Clark's Health Insurance Plan provides comprehensive coverage and benefits to students.
Every student is required to be covered under a health insurance plan prior to registering for courses in the Spring or Fall. We will provide you with the necessary health insurance enrollment forms or waiver form (if covered by a private insurer) when you arrive.
Tuition, Fees and Living Expenses
Financing Your Education
Financial aid in the form of scholarships and assistantships are granted at the time of acceptance only and students will be notified in their decision letter if an award has been granted. Beyond merit-based awards, graduate students often rely on loans to finance their education. Clark University's Office of Financial Assistance supports graduate students in identifying and applying for a number of loan programs. Be aware that most of the programs require that borrowers are U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents, or have a co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident.
Advising and Course Registration
Full-time Students - Registration for incoming students will take place during Orientation Week. During Orientation, you will have a scheduled appointment with your Academic Advisor to select your courses and create an individual academic plan.
Waiver Examinations (MBA Students Only)
New MBA students who are informed of their eligibility to take waiver exams (See your Waiver Evaluation Form) will have the option of taking these exams at scheduled times during Orientation. The following study guide will inform you of the topic areas for each test.
