TheTuition Insurance Planoffered by GradGuard™ supplements Duquesne University's withdrawal policy. It helps students and their families overcome the financial losses that may result
from events which force students to withdraw from the semester due to a covered medical
reason. Helping families get the most out of your Duquesne University experience
is always our top priority. That's why we've partnered with GradGuard™ to make the
Tuition Insurance Plan available to our families.
This coverage strengthens and broadens the scope of our existing refund policy by
including reimbursement for tuition, housing and other payments if a student withdraws
for any covered medical reason at any time during the semester.
Please remember the deadline to enroll is the day before classes begin each semester.
A Duquesne University education is an excellent investment in a student's future.

both undergraduate and graduate students.

students in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).

of insurance is approved by SHIP administrators.
