The GradGuard Tuition Protection Plan in now available to our families on an optional basis as of Fall 2020. This tuition insurance protects the investment your family has made in your education in case you need to withdraw after the time frames detailed in UofL’s refund policy because of specific situations such as illness, injury or mental health condition. 

This insurance coverage from GradGuard supplements UofL’s refund policy by reimbursing your tuition, housing and fees, up to the policy limits, if you withdraw for a covered reasons at any time during the term. With GradGuard Tuition Protection Plan you can be protected for approximately 1% of the cost of your tuition per semester. A college education is a major investment - which means it's worth protecting.  The GradGuard Tuition Protection Plan* offers high levels of coverage at a reasonable rate and can reimburse tuition payments, housing, and meals fees,* and other nonrefundable expenses if a student withdraws for reasons like:
