ATTN: STUDENT ACCOUNTS

Tuition and fees are due and payable in full two weeks before the start of each course period. Payments made to Adler University are first applied against any previously existing balance, then to current charges. Students are responsible for all tuition and fees at the time due regardless of pending employer or third-party reimbursement, unless other financial arrangements have been made. Students receiving financial aid funds are responsible for submitting payment for all tuition and fees not covered by the amount of aid anticipated. 

Payment plans (monthly installments) are available. Interested students can contact the Office of Student Accounts via email for more information. Inquiries should be initiated prior to the published tuition due date. 

Students who have not paid their account balance by the due date, and for whom there is no indication of pending financial aid, will be placed on financial hold. Students on financial hold will be unable to register for subsequent course periods, obtain transcripts, or graduate until all outstanding balances are paid in full. Adler University retains the right to withdraw students whose accounts are past due administratively and to charge all associated fees. Adler University’s policy is to submit delinquent accounts to external collection agencies.

Tuition Refund Policy 

Students who have officially withdrawn from Adler University, have withdrawn from specific courses, or have been administratively withdrawn may be entitled to a tuition refund to be paid within 14 business days of the processing of the withdrawal or drop. Refunds will be based on the total charge incurred rather than the amount paid by the student. Mandatory fees are not refundable once the course period has begun. 

Tuition charges will be refunded based on the following schedule: 

End of the 10th calendar day of each course period (11:59 p.m. CST): 100% 

After the 10th calendar day of each course period: 0%

Students who formally withdraw from Adler University will be refunded in accordance with the University’s refund policy based on the official withdrawal date processed by the Office of the Registrar. In addition, those students who participate in financial aid programs are subject to the return of Title IV funds as mandated by the federal government. Please see the Financial Aid section of the catalog for more information.

All, or a portion of any refunds due, may be paid to sponsors furnishing grants, loans, scholarships, or other financial aid to students, in conformity with federal and state laws, regulations, and rules and requirements of financial aid sponsors. After any disbursements to financial aid sponsors have been made, the student shall receive the balance, if any, of the amount due under Adler University’s refund policy.
