Student Advisory & Health Administration

The Student Advisory Health Administration Office (SAHA) is a division of Student Affairs for the Boston and Grafton Health Sciences Campuses. The schools for which services are provided include: the School of Dental Medicine, the School of Medicine, the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, the Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.

An annual mandatory health service fee is automatically billed to all students for health services and services provided by SAHA.

Health Service Fee for the 2024-2025 academic year will be:

  • Boston in-person: $988
  • Maine Medical Track Students in-person and Maine-based GSBS in-person students: $604
  • Grafton Cummings in-person students: $1,114
  • Students in fully hybrid or virtual academic programs will only pay the SAHA fee of $250. 

In each case, the Health Service Fee includes the SAHA fee, which remains unchanged at $250. The Health Service fee will be divided and billed equally between the fall and spring semesters.

The updated Health Service Fee covers office visits at CCW for in-person Boston Students and office visits at Student Health Services for Grafton Students. However, fees for additional services may be billed to either your health insurance or your Bursar’s account. 

The Office of Student Wellness launched in Fall of 2022. Please visit the following pages for more information on student wellness support and the student wellness advisor.
