The UToledo Center of Advocacy and Student Experience (CASE) often helps students navigate crises like accidents, injuries, or loss of employment, and now UToledo has another resource to assist students who may be experiencing these things.

The University of Toledo has partnered with GradGuard to offer tuition and fee protection. We encourage you to consider adding this insurance for coverage starting spring 2025.

Visit UToledo.edu/offices/treasurer/tuition-insurance.html for more information.
