Georgetown College

Academic Year 2009-2010

 

Georgetown College, together with A.W.G. Dewar Inc., is pleased to offer a program designed to help students recover tuition expenses in the event of medical and psychological hardship.  With the costs of higher education on the rise, students who are forced to withdraw from classes before completing the semester not only experience loss of academic credit for their courses but also significant financial loss of tuition dollars.  The Tuition Refund Plan will help combat these risks for future semesters at Georgetown College.

The Tuition Refund Plan is an optional tuition insurance policy that is extended to all students and their families through A.W.G. Dewar Inc.  It serves to extend and enhance the refund policy currently in place at the College.  Students living off campus will be able to buy insurance for tuition only; students living on campus can buy insurance that covers tuition and room and board. Without the TRP, students are responsible for the entire rate of tuition and fees after the 6^th week of class; however, if a student elects to employ the TRP, any lost tuition, room, and board dollars resulting from a qualifying medical withdrawal can be recovered.  (Qualifying psychological withdrawals are recovered at 60%.)  The following table illustrates the cost recovery procedure:

 

Withdrawal Date During	College Refunds	TRP Refunds (Medical)	TRP Refunds (Psychological)
1st Week	100%	0%	0%
2nd Week	80%	20%	12%
3rd/4th Week	60%	40%	24%
5th/6th Week	40%	60%	36%
After 6th Week	0%	100%	60%

    

Note:    Please refer to College Catalog for full refund policy details.
