Each year, thousands of college students across the country are unable to complete classes for the semester due to unforeseen medical reasons such as illness, accidents, concussions, or mental health-related issues. Unfortunately, in many cases these families are unable to recoup all their tuition dollars. According to PLNU's refund policy, depending on the timing of the withdrawal, you may not be eligible to receive a refund of some or all of your tuition and fees. 

We understand these types of situations can be a financial hardship for many families, and we believe it's important to offer an easy, affordable way to protect the investment your family has made in higher education. That's why PLNU has partnered with GradGuard to provide our families with tuition insurance by Allianz Global Assistance, featuring special plans and rates not available to the general public.

This coverage expands the scope of our refund policy by ensuring reimbursement for tuition, room and board, and other fees for covered withdrawals at any time during the semester. Plans also include Student Life Assistance: a 24-hour emergency hotline that offers students and parents even greater peace of mind.

At Point Loma Nazarene 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. Read more about tuition refund insurance.
