Tuition Insurance
Trinity University offers the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) to supplement the University’s published refund policy.
The plan provides coverage for tuition, room, board, and activity fee charges, less amounts covered by financial aid, that are not refundable under the University’s published refund policy.
TRP covers approved withdrawals from the University as a result of:
- serious illness
- mental disorder
- nervous disorder
- accident
- death
If a student withdraws from classes because of a personal injury or sickness, the TRP returns:
- 75% of semester tuition and fees
- 75% of semester tuition and fees if the withdrawal results from a psychological/emotional condition
Key Information
- All undergraduate students are billed $398.00 in July for the 2025–26 academic year, which includes both the Fall and Spring semesters.
- Students who do not wish to participate must submit an online tuition refund plan waiver.
- The waiver window is open from July 8 through September 4.
- Waivers are submitted at tuitionprotection.com/TU
Additional Note:
Students entering or returning from leave in January will be billed for spring coverage. Waivers may be submitted online before the end of add/drop in January.
The deadline to decline TRP is the last day of the add/drop period each fall semester. If enrolling as a new student or a re-admitted student in the spring semester, students must request enrollment in the TRP plan prior to the last day of the spring add/drop period.
-
Injury and sickness withdrawals: Tuition, fees, room and board are refunded at the rate of 75% for the insured semester, less any refund or credit due to you from the University, provided that your physical condition is certified by a licensed physician and that forces you to withdraw from classes completely for the balance of the term.
Psychological/Emotional withdrawals: Tuition, fees, room and board are refunded at the rate of 75% provided you have withdrawn from classes completely as the result of a psychological/emotional condition.
-
TRP covers tuition, fees, room and board for a full academic year. Off-campus housing, meals, and fraternity or sorority charges cannot be insured.
-
TRP does not cover war or any acts of war, whether declared or undeclared; the use (unless prescribed by a doctor) of any drug, narcotic or agent which is similarly classed or has similar effects; taking part in a riot; failure to attend classes for any reason other than injury or sickness; withdrawal when the student receives credit for an incomplete semester; suicide or intentional self-inflicted injury or sickness; initiating, taking part, or being active in a nuclear reaction, nuclear radiation, or radioactive contamination.
-
Claim forms with full instructions are available in Student Financial Services. Claims should be reported within 30 days from occurrence, or as soon as is reasonably possible. You should arrange for the completion of the claim form. Benefit payment is made to Trinity University, to be credited to the student's account, and represents 75% of applicable tuition, fees, room and board charges for the insured semester. Institutional aid will be revised to 25% for the insured semester when benefits are received. Any benefits that are not required to settle the student account will be refunded to the student by Trinity University.
All mental, nervous, or emotional withdrawals will be classified in accordance with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV).
