Tuition and Fee Information

Effective FY05, State of Illinois Public Act 93-0228 (110 ILCS 665/10-120) policy provides that tuition for new undergraduate Illinois resident students will remain the same for four continuous academic years. The guaranteed tuition rate period is extended for undergraduate degree programs approved by the University for completion in more than four years. The extension is limited to the minimum number of additional semester(s) to complete the program as approved by the University. The list of programs approved by the University for completion in more than four years is maintained by the Provost.

A Continuing Education fee of $44 per semester hour is a charge for off-campus courses. Waivers, including those available to civil service employees, may not be used for this fee.

A $25 late registration fee will be charged if you wait to register after the late registration day.  The $25 late registration fee applies only to semester-long courses.  It does not apply to weekend courses.  Consult the Off-Campus Calendar for this deadline. 

Beginning Summer 2010, student bills will be sent electronically through the students' EIU email account. Student bills will no longer be mailed through the postal service.


Residency Requirements

Students are eligible for in-state tuition if they meet two criteria:

  • Their permanent, legal domicile is in the state of Illinois
  • Must have been a bona fide resident of Illinois for at least 6 consecutive months immediately preceding the beginning of the term for which one registers.
