Upon your initial enrollment, we take a payment the date that you purchase the policy, however, the coverage for the insurance will not begin until your selected start date.

If you have chosen the annual payment plan, then this is the only charge that GradGuard will take from you. Once again, it is taken on the date that you purchase the policy, not the date that the coverage begins. If you have selected to auto-renew the policy, we will remind you at least 30 days in advance that your policy is set to renew. 

Customers also have policy periods when they are billed annually. Just like the monthly payment options, policy periods run from month to month and only full month refunds are offered where applicable. We DO NOT offer partial month refunds to customers regardless of their billing option.

If you've selected the monthly payment option, then we take a monthly payment on the date you purchase the insurance, then your recurring payment will come out 18 days before the start of the next period for your policy.

*For example, if you purchase a policy on February 14th but do not want the coverage to start until March 1st, then you will be charged your first months premium on February 14th; this payment is for your first full month of coverage going from March 1st to March 31st. Your second payment that comes out 18 days before the next period for your policy which would be  March 14th is for the next months worth of coverage going from April 1st to April 30th; so on and so forth.
