Tuition Insurance
Emmanuel College offers a tuition insurance program, the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP), to help protect your investment if the student leaves school prior to the end of the semester due to accident or illness.
TRP is an elective insurance program through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. and is not administered by Emmanuel College. The cost of the plan is approximately 1.1% of tuition, room, and board. The premium is $442 for a resident student and $312 for a student living off-campus.
TRP is a private insurance program that supplements Emmanuel's refund policy as published in the Academic Catalog. Subscribers are assured a refund throughout the term, even if Emmanuel's refund policy may have expired at the time of withdrawal. A full 100% refund only applies to medical injury and sickness withdrawals. Withdrawals for psychological/emotional reasons are insured at 60% of the costs. Costs covered by the TRP program include tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees. The orientation and health insurance charges are not included.
Participation in the Tuition Refund Plan is optional. If you have any questions about the plan or would like to request an application, please contact A.W.G. Dewar at 617-774-1555 or visit www.tuitionrefundplan.com. The application deadline for the 2008-2009 academic year is September 3, 2008. Applications cannot be accepted after the first day of classes.

Financial Aid
When a student withdraws from the College prior to the tenth week of the semester, most federal student financial assistance (and certain state financial assistance) is subject to federal regulations for the Return of Title IV funds. The eligibility to retain financial aid for a student who withdraws prior to the tenth week of the semester is calculated on a daily basis.
For example, if a student is receiving $1,500 in financial aid for the fall semester and withdraws on the 15th day of a semester that is 100 days in length, the student is eligible to keep $225.00 of their financial aid (15/100 = .15 x $1500 = $225.00).
There is no correlation between the amount of financial aid a student can retain and the amount the student is charged for tuition, fees, room and board.
