Employer Tuition Deferral Plan

​​The Employer Tuition Deferral Plan is designed for students who receive tuition reimbursement from their employers. Since employer reimbursement is generally issued at the end of the term, this option provides an extended payment due date.

How much does it cost?

A $125 fee covers Fall, Winter and Spring quarters (Fall and Spring semesters for Law). Students may apply on a term-by-term basis at $50 per term; $60 for Law Students per semester. Both options are interest-free.

How can I enroll?

Log in to Campus Connect and click on the "Student Accounts" tile then select "Employer Tuition Deferral Plan" from the left hand menu.

If you are enrolled through the Institute for Professional Development (IPD), please contact the program office at (312) 362-6282 for assistance. You will need the Employer Tuition Deferral Application form to complete your application.
