Tuition and fees are due in full two weeks before the start of each course period. Payments made to Adler University are first applied against previous balances and then to current charges.

Students are responsible for all tuition and fees on the due date, regardless of pending employer or third-party reimbursement (pending other financial arrangements).

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 whose financial accounts are delinquent are not eligible to register for subsequent course periods, begin a practicum or internship, 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 - Chicago Campus

Students who have officially withdrawn from Adler University, have withdrawn from specific courses, or have been administratively withdrawn may be entitled to a tuition refund. This refund will be paid within 14 business days of processing the withdrawal or drop. Please note that a drop fee will be assessed, per course, to all Chicago Campus student accounts regardless of the course period week in which students 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.
