Spring 2025 E-Bill Information
- E-Bills will be available online through our Student Account Portal the first week in December.
- To access the portal, the student logs on to today.dean.edu with their Dean credentials. They then click on Online Billing and Payments under Essential Links.
- Once the student has logged in they can add any parent/guardian/contact as an authorized party. Once added, the authorized party will receive an e-mail with registration instructions.
- Students will be charged up to a $500 late fee if their balance is not paid in full by the due date of January 3rd. In order to avoid a late fee, all loans must be complete with promissory notes signed, payment plans must be active and current, and financial aid finalized.

Health Insurance
The State of Massachusetts requires all students to be covered by health insurance. Students who enroll in the school’s health insurance plan in the Spring 2025 term will be insured from January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025. The cost for health insurance is $1,911.63.
Students are required to enroll or waive out of the school’s health insurance yearly on https://www2.academichealthplans.com/school/309.html.
After submitting the waiver, please print a confirmation page for your records. Additionally, you may deduct the health insurance charge from the bill once the health insurance waiver is approved. This charge cannot be waived for international students.
