Tuition Insurance

We believe it is important to offer an easy, affordable way to protect the investment you and your family have made in higher education. We have partnered with GradGuard to provide our students and their families with tuition insurance featuring special plans and rates not available to the general public.

This insurance supplements our tuition refund policy by reimbursing students for tuition, housing, food, and other fees for covered illness/injury or mental health condition withdrawals at any time during the semester.
