Submitting a bridge course waiver
If you are entering the program with some computer science experience through a course taken prior to joining Align or through professional training, you may apply for a course waiver. Align students will be considered for a maximum of two course waivers for one theory and one programming course. Bridge course waivers must be submitted by the first week of classes. Note: Not all online courses through sites such as Coursera or EdX will qualify for a waiver.

Activating or waiving health insurance
Health insurance is required for all students, both domestic and international. By default, all graduate students are automatically enrolled in the Northeastern University Student Health Plan (NUSHP), an affordable option that allows graduate students without coverage to obtain care.
Graduate students may waive NUSHP by showing proof of comparable coverage, per these guidelines. Students in Boston who waive coverage may submit a form and pay an annual fee to receive unlimited primary care at Northeastern’s University Health and Counseling Center (UHCC).
If you are planning to waive NUSHP, please be aware that Gallagher Student Health will be reviewing each individual waiver to ensure that the health care plan submitted is fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act and Massachusetts state requirements. Short-term medical plans and travel insurance plans cannot be used to waive NUSHP.
Please email NUSHP@northeastern.edu with any questions. You can also call the University Healthcare Services insurance coordinator at 617-373-8007.
