Calculate Your Tuition
This formula shows how to tabulate your tuition charges.
• On-Campus: (Total number of credit hours you are taking) X (tuition per credit hour) + (fees applicable to your total credit hours) = Your tuition.
• Off-Campus: (Total number of credit hours you are taking) X (tuition per credit hour) = Your tuition.
• Distance Learning: (Total number of credit hours you are taking) X (tuition per credit hour) + $50 Distance Learning Fee) = Your Tuition.
Mandatory Fees
Mandatory Fees apply to all on-campus students and students with combination off-campus and on-campus schedules regardless of student level or residency status.

Four Year Guaranteed Tuition Plan
The “Truth in Tuition” bill mandates that Illinois public universities provide four years of level tuition for new students enrolling for the first time beginning with the Fall 2004-2005 academic year. Undergraduate and transfer students enrolling at CSU for the first time after Fall 2004 and students who enroll for the first time every semester beginning Fall 2004-2005 and thereafter will have their tuition rate held constant for four consecutive years.
The guaranteed rates will remain in effect for four years or until the student reaches 120 credit hours. The hours will be extended to accommodate any majors or programs that exceed the 120 hours or four years. The guaranteed rate will remain in effect except in the event of a break in enrollment of no more than one year (two semesters, excluding summer school). In no case will the initial guaranteed rate be valid beyond five years of total enrollment. A tuition surcharge of 10% will be assessed for students that extend beyond the four-year guarantee period (120 credit hours) or five years of total enrollment. For all other students, CSU’s current tuition program will remain in effect.
IMPORTANT Note! A change in major will not affect the guaranteed rate. The guaranteed rate will continue for the number of credit hours necessary to complete the new major, not to exceed five years of total enrollment. Beyond five years of total enrollment, a 10% surcharge will be assessed.
Extended illness and military service will be given special consideration. The rate guarantee will be extended on a case-by-case basis by invoking the student appeal process.
Transfer student rates will be guaranteed based upon 120 credit hours less the number of credits transferred at the time of first enrollment. All extensions and exceptions that apply to new freshmen will be extended to new transfer students.
Credit Hour Pricing
Beginning with the Fall 2004-2005 academic year, tuition and mandatory fees will be charged on a per credit hour basis up to 15 hours during the Fall and Spring semesters and up to nine hours during the Summer session. This credit hour cap will allow students to complete 120 credit hours in eight semesters or four years. Credit hours above 15 will be charged at the rate for 15 credit hours during Fall and Spring semesters. Credit hours above 9 will be charged at the rate for 9 credit hours during the Summer sessions.
Out-of-State Undergraduate Tuition
Undergraduate out-of-state (non-Illinois resident) per credit hour tuition is twice the resident per credit hour tuition. The Four Year Guaranteed Tuition Plan is extended to all undergraduate out-of-state new freshmen and transfer students.
Out-of-State Graduate Tuition Rates
Graduate out-of-state (non-Illinois resident) per credit hour tuition is twice the resident per credit hour tuition.

Tuition Management Installment Plan
Chicago State University offers an interest-free monthly payment plan to distribute your education expenses over time instead of one large payment. To enroll, call 1-(800) 722-4867 (TMS 24 hours a day) or visit www.afford.com. Students using the installment payment option are required to make an initial payment by the payment deadline date or upon registration (see page 4 of the Class Schedule Bulletin). Remember your initial deposit must go to Chicago State University or your registration will be cancelled. The enrollment fee for using the installment plan varies according to the number of payments in your plan. Whether or not you are on the installment plan with TMS, you will still pay the deferred fee amount if tuition is not paid in full at the time of registration. The deferred fee is nonrefundable. |
- Refunds: The service fee is nonrefundable; the down payment is refundable in accordance with the University Refund Policy. The refund period can not be extended by selecting the deferred payment option. Final payment is still due on withdrawals after the refund period.
- Final Payment: Partial or complete payment will be accepted at any time; however, the total balance must be paid according to your TMS payment plan to avoid any additional charges.
- Default: Failure to make payment places the student’s account in default and a $25 delinquent fee will be assessed. In addition, a hold will be placed on the student’s academic record and the student will not be permitted to register for subsequent terms until the balance is paid.
