Tuition Refund Insurance

Insurance coverage which would supplement the university's published refund policy is available to full-time students through the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP), and elective insurance plan sponsored by A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. Under this plan, students who withdraw from classes at any time during the semester because of a personal medical illness or accident will receive a full tuition refund; students who withdraw due to a mental/nervous disorder will receive a 6o percent tuition refund. Housing charges are refunded on a prorated basis. The plan year is comprised of both fall and spring semesters of an academic year. Enrollment in the plan must occur prior to the first day of fall semester classes. For more information about the Tuition Refund Plan, contact the student health business manager in the Student Health Center, (202) 885-3298.
