Tuition Refund Insurance

Elective insurance is available that provides full coverage for tuition and mandatory fees (excluding health insurance) for you if you suffer a serious illness or accident that makes it necessary for you to leave the university before the semester is completed.  More information can be found in the USC Tuition Refund Insurance website.

Please see the USC Schedule of Classes for the last date to drop and receive a full tuition refund.  Select the class for which you are registered (MED 100, 200, etc.), and then click on the information widget.

What Tuition Refund Insurance Covers

The insurance covers 85% of the tuition and mandatory fees (excluding the student health insurance fee) for the semester if a student withdraws from all classes due to injury, sickness, or psychological and emotional conditions (as defined in the DSM-IV manual). The plan covers payments made directly by the student, loans, grants or scholarships. USC grants and scholarships are credited back to the university and loans may be credited back to the lender as determined by the Financial Aid Office.

By default, at the time you register, Web Registration will enroll you in Tuition Refund Insurance. This will result in a charge equal to approximately .28 of 1 percent of your tuition and mandatory fees, which will be added to your student account.

If you wish to remove Tuition Refund Insurance after you have registered, you may make the change on Web Registration by clicking the Tuition Refund Insurance button and following the prompts. You may decline tuition refund insurance up until the end of week three of the fall semester of session 001. More information can be found in the Registration Calendar at classes.usc.edu/term-20243/calendar.

The Tuition Refund Plan is offered through a private insurance carrier, A.W.G. Dewars, Inc. (collegerefund.com/usc). Information is also available online at Tuition Refund Insurance Program.
