Tuition and fees are due in full, two weeks prior to the start of each course period. Payments made to the 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). Students receiving financial aid funds are responsible for submitting payment for all tuition and fees that will not be 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 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 administratively withdraw students whose accounts are past due and to charge all associated fees. It is the policy of Adler University to submit delinquent accounts to external collection agencies.

Tuition Refund Policy - Chicago Campus

Students who have officially withdrawn from the University, have withdrawn from specific courses, or have been administratively withdrawn may be entitled to a tuition refund. This refund is to 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. Only tuition charges will be refunded based on the following schedule:

Fall, Spring and Summer Course Periods - Chicago Campus

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

Students who are approved for a leave of absence and are currently registered for coursework will be refunded in accordance with the University’s refund policy based on the official drop date processed by the Office of the Registrar.

Students who are administratively withdrawn from the University are subject to the University’s tuition refund policy. 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.
