6. Budget Plan (All students)

Students who do not select a payment plan by the second week of classes will automatically be enrolled in the budget plan each term. Under the budget plan students will be required to make tuition payments on a monthly basis and will be charged a late fee penalty on any unpaid balance the last business day each month.  A $40.00 budget plan fee is charged to each student enrolled in the plan.  Students placed in the budget plan will have a hold placed on their account until the balance is paid in full or the student agrees to a specific IIT Payment plan.

7. Tuition Deferment Plan (Part-time students only)

The Tuition Deferment Plan is available to students whose employers offer tuition reimbursement. The plan permits students to   delay payment of the employer’s percentage of the current semester tuition cost until 45 days from the end of the semester. Students are required to pay their portion of tuition cost not covered by employer by the start of the term. The plan requires the following:

1. Payment of a $55.00 deferred payment fee at the time of application.

2. A letter from your employer stating the terms of the tuition reimbursement policy and approximate time frame in which your employer will make payment (no later than 45 days from the end of the semester). This letter is due by the third week of the semester.

You may apply for tuition deferment online: Tuition Deferment Form

A sample employer letter is available online: Sample Employer Letter

 

Late Payment Penalties

All students who do not comply with the terms of their payment plan are subject to late payment penalty fees.  Students on the Budget Plan who fail to meet the required payment due date will be charged a late payment penalty fee of 1% of their outstanding balance each month.  Students on the IIT Monthly Payment Plan will be assessed a $25.00 late payment penalty fee for each month their payment is late.

 

Tuition Refund Policies

The following policy pertains to all students who drop a course(s) or completely withdraw from the university:

Official date of withdrawal
Refund amount
During the first week of classes
100%
During the second week of classes
100%
After the second week of classes

Refunds of credit balances resulting from financial aid credits will not be processed until the credit balance is reflected on the student's account.  Students receiving federal and/or state loans and/or grants should be aware that credit for such aid may not be available until some time after the fourth week of classes.

Request for refunds of credit balances due to course drop/withdrawal , overpayment or reasons other than financial aid will be accepted and processed when the credit balance is reflected on the student's account.

No tuition will be charged and full refund will be made on any amounts paid, upon application supported by proof as necessary, under the following circumstances:

*If a course for which the student is registered is canceled by the university.

*If a student's serious injury causing incapacity or death occurs.

Under the exceptional circumstances, such as withdrawal for involuntary military service, serious illness or action by the university, consideration may be given for a refund or credit for unused tuition upon written request to the Bursar.

 

Outstanding Debts

A financial hold is placed on a student's record when that student is delinquent in fulfilling his or her financial obligation to the university.  A student will be considered delinquent when his/her account is not current according to the established due dates listed in this schedule

 

Alumni Tuition Benefit (ALUMED)

ALUMED is a program of tuition credit for graduates of IIT or Midwest College of Engineering (MCE).

Alumni registering as part-time undergraduate students are permitted to register for one course offered by IIT each semester at a cost of one-half the current tuition rate.  Alumni registering as part-time graduate students will receive a one third reduction of the tuition charges for one course.

Alumni registering as full-time students or as law students in a Chicago-Kent degree program are not eligible.  ALUMED may not be used for enrollment in short courses, special problems, research, thesis and non-credit courses. Reductions in tuition may not be applied retroactively.

To receive this benefit, students must indicate their alumni status on the registration form.

 

Tuition Remission (Employees)

The tuition remission policy for IIT employees is an employee benefit and information is available on the Department of Human Resources website here.

The University policy applies only to tuition charges. All other charges including but not limited to: room, board, student activity fee, service fee, U-Pass fee, and health insurance fee may also be applicable charges and are the responsibility of the employee to either pay or obtain any waiver to meet all payment and waiver deadlines. Please see the section above on Tuition and Fees for charges that may be applicable to you, and which are dependent upon your enrollment status.
