Tuition Insurance
We believe it’s important to offer an easy, affordable way to protect the investment your family has made in higher education. Oklahoma State University has negotiated with GradGuard to provide our families with tuition insurance by Allianz Global Assistance featuring special plans and rates not available to the general public.
Tuition insurance helps students and their families overcome the financial losses that may result from events which force students to withdraw from the semester due to a covered medical reason.
This coverage expands the scope of our refund policy. Tuition insurance* can reimburse up to 100% of your school expenses/payments after an unexpected withdrawal (at any time during the semester) for a covered illness, injury, mental health disorder, and more.
We highly recommend you cover all educational expenses per semester. Keep in mind you can always choose your coverage limit based on resident and nonresident rates and reimbursement can include:
- Tuition and Fees
- Room and Board
- Other school expenses, such as books
Plans also include Student Life Assistance: a 24-hour emergency hotline that offers students and parents even greater peace of mind.
Tuition Insurance enrollment deadlines:
- Fall term - September 15th
- Spring term - February 15th
At Oklahoma State University, we want the best for our students, and Allianz Global
Assistance is a world-leader in specialty insurance and assistance—helping over 35
million people protect their tuition payments, travel plans and more each year.
