A Note From Pacific Lutheran University

Over the years, we've heard many students and families say student loan debt is a barrier to their dreams. In fact, “level of debt” has been the #1 concern among college applicants and their parents nationwide for nearly a decade, the Princeton Review reports.


That's why Pacific Lutheran University is partnering with Ardeo Education Solutions. Through this partnership, PLU is making an elective insurance plan available to students that protects against the burden of student loan debt.


PLU is dedicated to the success of students, both on campus and after graduation, and this elective coverage is just one more way to protect your dreams, wherever they may take you.

After graduation, how do I file a claim?
Once you sign up for Student Loan Insurance and Pacific Lutheran University confirms you enrolled, Ardeo will email you information about how to set up your portal account.

You may cancel your policy for a full refund by the 14th day of the first term of the covered academic year. After that, you may cancel your policy during the covered academic year and receive a refund of any unearned premium.
What else should I know about the details of my policy?
There are 3 things you need to do to qualify for reimbursement.

  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. In other words, the less you earn, the more reimbursement you will receive. Coverage continues until your income exceeds $50,000 or until your loans are repaid entirely.
