Summer 2008 Fee & Payment Information
(ADM 211 • (773) 995-2470)
The Office of Financial Affairs administers course fees and payment policies. Tuition and mandatory fees are subject to change.
Validation
What is validation?
Validation is any form of payment in the following manner:
• Cash
• Check / Money Order
• Charge
• Third Party Letter (outside Agency)
• Financial Aid Waiver
What does validation do for a student?
- Validation locks students into their classes so that they will not be dropped unless the student or instructor does so.
- Every student should do a formal withdrawal if the student is not going to attend the University.
- If you have already validated with cash, check, charge, third party letter or a financial aid waiver, your class(es) will not be dropped. If you make a payment to your account for parking, library fines, meal plans, or any other items for the current term, your classes for that term will not be dropped.

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.
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!

Chicago State University offers an Interest-free monthly payment plan to spread your

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/. Also, you can log on directly to Tuition Management

Only students enrolling for four (4) 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 before the payment deadline date. Please remember your initial deposit must go to Chicago State University or your classes will be canceled.
The 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.
