Tuition Insurance

In an effort to help protect the financial investment of our families, we’ve partnered with A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. to offer you the opportunity to purchase elective insurance coverage for your student’s tuition and mandatory fees.

The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) is an insurance plan that minimizes the financial loss you may experience if your son or daughter should need to leave Emerson in the middle of a semester. The TRP refund covers 80 percent of tuition for medical withdrawals, and 80 percent tuition for mental health withdrawals. Room and Board charges are not covered by the TRP. 

The TRP works in concert with Emerson’s existing refund/withdrawal policy. Subscribers are assured a refund throughout the term, even though Emerson’s policy may have expired at the time of withdrawal.

The chart below shows how TRP works for a medical leave to complement Emerson’s current refund policy:
