Tuition Insurance
“From a healthcare perspective, tuition insurance offers significant peace of mind for both students and parents. Illnesses are unpredictable, and when they occur, students often struggle with their academic responsibilities, which can lead to depression, fatigue, and feeling overwhelmed. These feelings can further affect their healing process. Many students will push through their illness, worried about the financial burden, potentially leading to prolonged illness and continued academic challenges. Tuition insurance can alleviate this concern, giving students the peace of mind they need to prioritize their health and recovery.”
Cathy Higginbotham MHA, BSN, RN, Executive Director of Deacon Health

This plan extends and enhances the University’s published refund policy. In cases of withdrawal due to accident, illness or mental health conditions as defined in the plan.
