Tuition refund plan

We have a concern for the student who suffers a serious illness or accident and has to withdraw before the semester is completed. In many instances, it means not only the loss of time invested in studies, but also a financial loss of the semester's cost.

We are pleased to offer tuition insurance through the Tuition Refund Plan that will minimize the financial portion of such a loss. This insurance plan provides coverage for tuition, room, and board charges for the 2008/2009 academic year.

The University's refund policy provides a partial refund of tuition through the fourth week of classes, and a pro-rated refund through the seventh week of classes for room and board. The Tuition Refund Plan will ensure a refund of charges in the event of a complete withdrawal under the terms of the plan. More details about the Tuition Refund Plan, provided by A.W.G. Dewar's, Inc., are available at www.collegerefund.com or by calling A.W.G. Dewar's, Inc. directly at (617) 774.1555. If this coverage is waived, changes to registration will be subject to the University's refund policies.

IMPORTANT: Qualifying students will be auto-enrolled and invoiced for this insurance (premium information is below). Students who do not wish to participate in the plan MUST waive this insurance either by submitting an electronic waiver via LOIS (www.lesley.edu/lois) or by returning the paper waiver that has been sent to the student's home address. Waivers must be submitted by August 15, 2008.

Charges for the Tuition Refund Insurance will appear on the August 15th student account statements. Please contact the Student Accounts Office with questions toll free at 800.999.1959 extension 8760.

The cost of coverage under this plan is as follows:
