This formula shows how to tabulate your tuition charges:
• On-Campus: Total number of credit hours selected x tuition per credit hour + fees
applicable to your total credit hours = your tuition.
• Off –Campus: Total number of credit hours selected x tuition per credit hour + fees applicable to your total credit hours = your tuition.
• Distance Learning: Total number of credit hours selected x tuition per credit hour + $50 distance learning fee = your tuition.
Any combination of Extension or Distance Learning courses and on-campus courses will have mandatory fees charged.
NOTE: Some courses carry additional fees. These fees are not included in the tuition and mandatory fee information. The list of courses with additional fees is in the Class Schedule Bulletin .
Mandatory Fees Full - Time | $1,148.00 |
Mandatory Fees Part - Time | $403.00 |
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. This 15 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.
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.

For more information, or to enroll, call 1-800-722-4867 (TMS/ 24 hours a day) and speak with an education payment counselor or log on to www.csu.edu/. Or, you can log on directly to Tuition Management Systems at www.afford.com. Only students enrolling for three (3) credit hours or more are allowed to use the Tuition Management Installment Plan. Students using the installment payment option are required to make an initial payment at the time of registration or by the payment deadline date of February 4, 2010. 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 you are on the installment plan with TMS or not, you will still pay the deferred fee amount if tuition is not paid in full at the time of registration. The deferred fee is non-refundable.
