Students can purchase GradGuard tuition insurance for health-related academic withdrawal

Marquette students can purchase a “Tuition Protection Plan” from GradGuard, the insurance protection platform.

This insurance is being offered to ensure continued access to education amid uncertainty brought upon by health issues. The plan offers affordable insurance for tuition and other attendance costs should students be forced to withdraw for a covered illness, injury or mental health reason. This plan complements and enhances the university’s refund policy so that students and their families can have peace of mind.

Under the university’s withdrawal policy, students may not be eligible for a full refund if they have to withdraw mid-semester. The Tuition Protection Plan can cover tuition, room and board, and/or fees that otherwise may not be eligible for reimbursement. For more information on coverage plans and eligibility, visit GradGuard’s website or call (877) 794-6603 to connect with a tuition insurance specialist.

Students and/or parents can purchase the protection plan prior to the end of the late registration period for the semester. The enrollment date is based on the undergrad academic calendar. If you are not an undergrad, sign-up dates may vary. Enrollment must be before the late registration deadline for your academic program.
