Tuition Refund Insurance
Duke Law School has arranged with A.W.G. Dewar Inc. to offer the Tuition Refund Plan to our students to minimize the financial portion of losses incurred when a student suffers a serious illness or accident and has to leave Duke before the semester is completed. The insurance program extends and enhances the University's published refund policy. For a qualifying medical event, you are assured of a refund of covered charges throughout the term even after the University's own refund policy has expired. This can be especially beneficial when a student is forced to withdraw and then return for a later term.
The cost of the insurance is $190 for the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 terms. (Tuition for the 2008-09 academic year is $42,160.) Applications and payment must be received prior to the first day of classes. For detailed information about coverage and how to apply, please visit the Bursar's website.
