Tuition & Fees

All students enrolling in online courses pay the same tuition and fees regardless of residency or student status. Tuition and fees are due approximately one month after the start of the semester. Please see the Calendar for the current semester due date for tuition and fee payments.

Please note: The University assesses a 2.4% convenience fee for all credit card transactions.

Tuition and fee assessments will be calculated in the Banner system and made available for viewing in the Web Self-Service system.

The University will accept MasterCard, Discover, American Express, checks, and e-checks for payment of tuition and fees. Please note that the University assesses a 2.4% convenience fee for all credit card transactions. Visit the University Student Financial Services and Cashier Operations (USFSCO) Web site for details and contact OCEE if you have any questions about your student account.

The University does not send tuition and fee assessments by mail. E-bills are replacing paper bills and will be sent to your official University email account, not to personal email accounts, after the semester begins.

Billing Your Company or Sponsor

If your education at the University of Illinois is being supported by an outside agency, the USFSCO can bill the agency directly. Outside agencies can be your company or business, other schools, educational foundations, and governmental agencies.

A company authorization letter with the following information should be faxed to USFSCO at 217-239-6890:

• The letter must include the agency billing address and request the University to bill your agency for your account.
• It must include your full name (given name first and family name last) and UIN (if you have one).
• The letter should clearly state what charges your sponsor will pay, for example, tuition and all mandatory fees (current tuition and fees per credit hour are itemized in the table above and may need to be listed separately on your sponsor voucher).
• The responsibility time period should also be included; for example: January 2009 - December 2010.
