Coverage You Can Count On

Student Loan Insurance can reimburse up to 100% of your federal student, private alternative and parent PLUS loan payments. The less you earn after graduation, the more reimbursement you’ll receive. Your benefits continue until your income after graduation surpasses $50,000 or until your loans are repaid entirely.

Coverage when you need it.

For many graduates, it takes time to find a job out of college. That’s why you have 18 months after graduation to file a claim for the first time. Plus, you can extend that timeline if you attend graduate school or work internationally.

Coverage for all your loans.

Student Loan Insurance covers loans certified by Friends University’s financial aid office. You’re covered whether you borrow federal student, private alternative or parent PLUS loans (or all three).

Coverage even if your plans change.

More Information

What is Student Loan Insurance, and how does it work?

Student Loan Insurance is a financial safety net. The coverage helps repay federal student, private alternative and parent PLUS loans until your income exceeds $50,000 after graduation. This powerful protection enables students to achieve their goals without being held back by student loan debt.

Who is eligible for coverage?

You must be a high school senior, college freshman or college sophomore with at least two academic years left.

What is covered by this insurance?

Each Student Loan Insurance policy covers loans certified by Friends University's financial aid office including federal student, private alternative and parent PLUS loans.

When do I pay for this?

Just like with your college tuition, you will pay for Student Loan Insurance while you are in college. Once you graduate or withdraw from Friends University, you will no longer need to make Student Loan Insurance payments. Prior to each academic year, we will send you a notice that your coverage is about to renew. If your status as a student has changed, you can let us know by responding to that message or by calling us at (877) 909-4754.

As a parent or guardian, can I help my student sign up for Student Loan Insurance?

Yes! Signing up for Student Loan Insurance is a smart move – and we encourage you to discuss all the benefits together as a family. Have your student provide your contact information as they go through the sign-up process to ensure you will receive information about their policy.

Is my coverage automatically renewed each year?

Yes, your coverage is automatically renewed each year. Prior to each academic year, we will send you a notice that your coverage is about to renew. If your status as a student has changed, you can let us know by responding to that message or by calling us at (877) 909-4754.

Does Student Loan Insurance cover loans borrowed for a j-term (January term) or during the summer?

Yes, your Student Loan Insurance policy covers the entire academic year, including j-term and summer term.

What’s your cancellation policy?

You can cancel your policy at any time. To receive a full refund, please cancel by Oct. 1 of the covered year or within 14 days of purchase, whichever comes later.
If you do not require coverage for the academic year but wish to maintain your policy, you can pause coverage. Pause coverage before June 1 of the covered year to receive a complete refund for any payments made toward the current academic year, as well as to stop any future payments for that academic year. Rest assured, your policy will resume automatically on July 1 for the new academic year.
To cancel your policy or pause coverage please contact us at the following: [email protected] or (877) 909-4754

After graduation, how do I file a claim?

Once you sign up for Student Loan Insurance and Friends University confirms you enrolled, Ardeo will email you information about how to set up your portal account. From there, you can access your coverage details, find helpful resources, and submit claims after you graduate, begin working, and are making your required loan payments.

How does my income after graduation affect reimbursement?
Student Loan Insurance will reimburse you every 3 months for your loan payments, up to the full amount allowed by your policy. What does that mean? Here's an example:

A graduate with an income limit of $50,000 is earning $25,000 per year after graduation. Their loan payments are 100% reimbursed (in other words, they receive 100% of their loan payments back). As the graduate’s income increases, for example, to $37,500, they would receive 50% reimbursement of their loan payments. Their coverage continues until either their income exceeds their income limit – in this example, $50,000 – or until their loans are repaid entirely.

Other terms apply. For more information please see our sample policy
What if I attend graduate school?

Students who attend graduate school typically follow one of two paths:


  1. If you attend graduate school full time, your federal loans are usually put in "academic deferral" status automatically, which means you won't need to make any loan payments. If you have private loans, you can contact the loan servicer to discuss keeping your loans deferred while you attend graduate school. During this time, you should contact Ardeo to let us know you will be attending graduate school. Since you won't be making any loan payments, we will pause your coverage. When you finish graduate school, you can contact us again to reactive it.

  2. If you attend graduate school part time, then loan providers typically require you to begin repaying loans borrowed to pursue your bachelor's degree. In this case, there is no effect to Student Loan Insurance. You will receive help repaying your loans, up to the full amount allowed for in your policy.

Please note that at this time Student Loan Insurance only covers loans borrowed to pursue a bachelor's degree. Loans borrowed to pursue a graduate degree will not be covered by Student Loan Insurance.

What else should I know about the details of my policy?

There are 3 things you need to do to qualify for reimbursement.


  1. Graduate from Friends University with a Bachelor's degree.

  2. Work 30+ hours per week. It can be in any field. You can work more than one job.

  3. Begin making your required loan payments.

Reimbursements are made in proportion to your income after graduation. You'll receive more reimbursement, the less you earn. Coverage continues until your income exceeds $50,000 or until your loans are repaid entirely.


Students have 18 months after graduation to file a claim for the first time. That timeline can be extended if you attend graduate school or work internationally.


This is just a summary. See your policy for the full terms and conditions.
