Notes

  1. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice any time prior to the first day of instruction
  2. Students admitted to online programs will be assessed $560 per credit hour "eTuition."  eTuition is assessed to students admitted into formally recognized online programs (with program codes ending in "U").  The program of admission will control tuition and fee assessment.  
  3. In fall and spring semesters, an additional $3.00 will be assessed for the Student-To-Student Assistance Program (refundable).  Not assessed in summer.
  4. Students within the Graduate College registered for 9 or more hours, and students who are full time (12 or more hours) undergraduates, full time (12 or more hours) in the Colleges of Pharmacy, the School of Public Health, the Doctor of Physical Therapy, Dentistry, and classes M1 and M2 of the Chicago College of Medicine be assessed a $95 transportation fee for the CTA U Pass.
  5. The transportation fee will be assessed to degree and non-degree students in the categories listed in note 4 above above.
  6. Undergraduate degree seeking students entering the University in Summer 2004 or after are provided a four year tuition guarantee. The purpose of the undergraduate guaranteed tuition plan is to provide a high degree of certainty about tuition costs for students and families. The plan applies to all undergraduate students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program on one of the three campuses of the University of Illinois. The plan treats every student as part of a cohort defined by the date of entry to the University. Each cohort is guaranteed an unchanged tuition schedule for four years.  Please note that fees are subject to change annually.  For details on guaranteed undergraduate tuition see www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/policies/tuition_guarantee.asp.
  7. The Academic Facilities Maintenance Fund Assessment (AFMFA) is assessed to new undergraduate and new graduate/professional students to address the deferred maintenance backlog in academic facilities. AMFMA is $250 per semester for full-time students enrolled for at least 12 credit hours. For less than full-time enrollment, the AFMFA will be based on enrolled credit hours pro-rated according to range calculations.

Refunds

After classes begin, students who officially withdraw from the University (by dropping all classes) on or before the tenth week will receive a pro-rata refund based upon the official date of withdrawal. Assessed tuition, the service and general fees are refunded on a pro-rata basis less 5% of the assessed amount or $100, whichever is less.
