GradGuard Tuition Insurance Plan

What happens when your education is disrupted by an unexpected injury, illness, or other serious life event? Depending on the timing of the withdrawal, you may not be eligible to receive a refund for all of your tuition and fees.

Starting in Fall 2026, Northeastern University has partnered with GradGuard. GradGuard offers Tuition Insurance that strengthens and broadens the scope of our existing refund policy, and can help students and parents avoid a financial loss due to an unexpected withdrawal for a serious covered illness, injury, or other covered reason.

GradGuard can reimburse up to 100% of the student’s investment, including other school-invoiced fees, after a withdrawal due to a covered reason such as:

• Covered Serious Injury or Illness
• Chronic Illness
• Mental Health Conditions

Covered withdrawals can take place any time during the covered term. GradGuard offers members special access to an Assistance Hotline to help students and their families take care of emergencies and unexpected issues.

Available to student with U.S. addresses, tuition insurance must be purchased before the first day of classes and is offered as a voluntary benefit to our families. Your participation is not required. If you choose to participate, please review the amount of coverage when enrolling and modify that amount if needed. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply.
