<p>I’m assuming that it covers Tuition and “University Fees.”
I don’t think it covers room and board, but I don’t know. I couldn’t find any more information about it on the website.</p>

<p>Correct. If it says “tuition and fees,” then that’s what it covers, not room and board. Congrats!</p>

<p>I got one specifically saying it covers tuition/fees/room and board, so I’m assuming if it didn’t actually mention room & board, it’s not covered.</p>
