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 maintain the same tuition rate for four consecutive 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 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 whot 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. That 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 through 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. This 15 credit hour cap will
allow students to complete 120 credit hours in eight semesters or four years. Credit
hours exceeding 15 will be charged at the rate for 15 credit hours.
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.
Students who fail to pay their tuition by the due date will be withdrawn from their classes! To be reinstated, you must pay a fee of $100 plus your full tuition! Pay on or before the date to avoid the penalty!
NOTE: the late registration fee is $100!
