GradGuard™ is a company that provides tuition, room and board fees, and other academic fees if a student withdraws for any covered medical reason.

You are able to see a quote and find more information on their website.
Travel Insured International is a company that provides trip cancellation insurance. Students should send all questions/inquiries directly to Travel Insured International.
