Tuition Insurance
Carnegie Mellon University has partnered with GradGuard to offer students Tuition Insurance. This optional benefit can protect your investment in higher education in the event of an unforeseen, covered illness, injury or other covered reason resulting in a withdrawal from school.
Tuition Insurance can cover the costs of tuition, housing, dining and academic fees. It does not cover medical, dental, or vision premiums or expenses. When you log into Nelnet to set up your payment plan, you will be asked if you want to purchase the Tuition Insurance Protection.
Under qualifying circumstances, the Tuition Refund Plan will provide students and families with money that can ease loan obligations and allow students to continue their education without increasing costs.

Tuition Insurance is optional. You will need a new plan each semester you would like tuition insurance coverage because coverage is semester specific.
