Tuition Insurance
College is an investment — and sometimes, life gets in the way. That’s why Salt Lake Community College partners with GradGuard to offer optional tuition insurance to help protect your finances if you need to withdraw for a covered reason.
What Is Tuition Insurance?
Tuition Insurance can reiumburse up to 100% of your school expenses/payments including tuition, fees, and other costs like books and school supplies, if you must withdraw due to:
- A serious illness or injury (e.g., mono, concussion, surgery)
- A mental health condition (e.g., depression, anxiety, suicide attempt)
- A chronic illness (e.g., diabetes, autoimmune disorder)
- The death or involuntary job loss of a tuition payer
Coverage is provided through GradGuard, underwritten by Allianz Global Assistance.
Enrollment Deadlines
2025-2026 Deadlines
- Fall 2025: September 16

Cost & Coverage
The premium is 2.6% of the coverage amount. Standard coverage levels:
| Student Type | Coverage | Plan Cost |

| Resident Student | $2,500 | $65 |

Important Things to Know
- Enrollment is optional — but you must opt in by the deadline and pay the premium in full at the time of enrollment.
- Coverage is semester specific. You’ll need to purchase a new plan for each semester.
- You must withdraw from all courses to file a claim.
- SLCC will no longer provide refunds after the drop deadline. Tuition insurance is your only option for financial protection after that date.
- View the Academic Calendar for your term’s drop deadline.
- A drop and withdrawal are not the same. Learn the difference here (as well as step-by-step instructions on how to complete a drop or withdrawal).

- If you cancel after your plan has become active but before the insurance enrollment deadline (the full-term drop deadline), you will receive a prorated refund.
No. The registration appeal process will continue. The key change is that all approved adjustments will now be processed as withdrawals rather than drops, and SLCC will no longer issue refunds. After the drop deadline, financial protection is only available through tuition insurance.
No. Tuition insurance is optional. Coverage is term-specific, meaning you must purchase a new plan each term if you want continued protection.

Premiums must be paid up-front and in full. Coverage is not active until the entire premium has been paid.
No. To receive coverage, you must fully withdraw from an entire term. Tuition insurance does not apply to partial withdrawals. If you do fully withdraw from a term, you may still receive academic credit for courses in other terms within the same semester already completed. Still, reimbursement will only apply to the costs associated with the term you fully withdrew from.
Yes. If you need to withdraw from your classes for a medical reason related to pregnancy, and a licensed medical provider confirms it on your claim form, you can file a claim for coverage.
