Touchnet and GradGuard provide college and university partners with a unique opportunity to help protect the investments their students make in higher education. 

Through our collaboration, students (and authorized users) have the opportunity to purchase a tuition insurance policy directly in their Student Account Center. Additionally, we help collect acknowledgement of your institution’s refund policy in advance of students and families paying tuition and fees balances; providing your institution reassurance that the student has had the opportunity to review their financial obligations. 

Tuition insurance can help provide up to 100% reimbursement of your students’ cost of attendance should they have to withdraw for a covered reason. Partner with GradGuard to offer tuition insurance that complements your institution’s refund policy. Additionally, tuition insurance programs can help an institution’s recruitment, retention, and revenue.
 

› Recruitment

  • Demonstrate to students and families that your institution has their best interests in mind.
  • Provide confidence to a growing number of students with pre-existing and chronic conditions. 
  • Complement your toolbox of resources and services for families by allowing them to voluntarily purchase a robust tuition insurance plan.

› Retention

  • The most prominent reason why students who leave for a medical reason and never return is due to the financial implications and balances that result - tuition insurance can eliminate that obstacle. 

› Revenue

  • TouchNet and GradGuard integration delivers a new level of financial literacy and awareness.
  • Greater participation can transfer risk from your campus to GradGuard, so student account balances are paid when a student withdraws.
  • A greater level of transparency allows your institution to stand behind its policies and reduce write-offs and bad debt.
