Dear Emerson Students and Parents:

Given the substantial financial commitments that students and their families must make to underwrite an education at Emerson, we have become increasingly concerned to find ways to protect the financial investment of our students' families. Of particular concern are those students who, through illness or accident, may be required to leave school in the middle of a semester. In many instances it means not only the loss of time invested in studies but also the loss of the semester's costs.

We are pleased to advise you of an insurance program, the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP), which will minimize the financial portion of the loss. This elective insurance plan provides coverage for Tuition, Room and Board charges.

The TRP works in concert with the existing refund policy as published in the College catalog. Subscribers are assured a 100% refund throughout the term, even though Emerson's own refund policy may have expired at the time of withdrawal. The full TRP refund applies only to medical withdrawals; withdrawals for psychological reasons are insured at 60% of the costs. The chart below shows how TRP works for medical leave to complement Emerson's current refund policy:

For refunds of Room and Board charges, please see the college catalog.

We are providing the Tuition Refund Plan on a voluntary basis for students and parents. If you are interested in participating online for the academic year 2009-2010, please submit the application and the annual premium before the opening date of classes. Online applications cannot be accepted on or after that date. If you have any questions about the Tuition Refund Plan, please contact Dewar directly at (617) 774-1555.

Sincerely,

Michelle Smith
Director of Student Administrative Services
