Tuition Refund Insurance

An optional insurance program is available to help refund student tuition, fees, and room/board charges, up to the annual policy limits, if you unable to complete the semester. This insurance program complements and enhances our school's refund policy and we believe families will benefit from this added protection. Visit GradGuard for additional information.

No refund of the medical insurance premium will be made after the second week of classes; however, the student will be covered for the remainder of that coverage period.
