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 any balance that will not be covered by the amount of aid anticipated by the designated tuition due date.
Billing Policy
Chicago and Online Campus
The Office of Student Accounts will email students’ Adler University email addresses when billing information is available on Adler Connect.
Tuition and fees are due and payable in full two weeks before the start of each term. Payments to the University are applied against any previously existing balance, then to current charges.
Vancouver Campus
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 any balance that will not be covered by the amount of aid anticipated by the designated tuition due date.
Invoices
Invoices will be emailed out 2-3 weeks after registration. Invoices are emailed ONLY to your Adler email account. Please note, the finance section in Self-Service is NOT operational for students in the Vancouver Campus. The Student Accounts and Financial Aid Advisor will email all account information, including invoices.
Payments
The deadline for tuition payment is usually 21-30 days after the invoice is sent. Students can make their payments after receiving their invoices.
Late Payment Policy
Students with past due balances are assessed a 2% late payment fee of the balance due, and a hold is placed on their student account. Students with delinquent account holds 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. The 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 Withdrawal Policy
Students who have officially withdrawn from the school, have withdrawn from specific courses, or have been administratively withdrawn may be entitled to a tuition refund to be paid within 14 business days of the processing of the withdrawal or drop. Please note that a drop fee will be assessed to all student accounts regardless of the term week for courses dropped after the start of the term. If a student withdraws before the start of the term, and before the 100% drop period, no balance will be owed on their student account. Students who drop any classes after the first day of the term must contact the Office of Financial Aid to confirm how this will affect their financial aid eligibility and their student account balance. Mandatory fees are not refundable once the term has begun. Only tuition charges will be refunded based on the following schedule:
Tuition refunds are determined according to the following schedule: Fall, Spring & Summer Course Periods *Fees excluded*
- End of 10th calendar day of the course period (11:59 p.m. CST/PST) 100%
- 11th calendar day of the course period through the end of the course period 0%
Note: The start date of each term is put forth in the Adler University Academic Calendar and is the same for all students regardless of program or course start date.
