UIUC Tuition Rates

To those incoming freshman... sorry. The Board of Trustees has passed the proposed tuition rate increase and you will be paying over $20,034 next fall. The good news is that your rate will never increase.

According to the University's Guaranteed Tuition Policy, a student's tuition rate is frozen for four years. While this seems great, it is cause for alarm to some. Those students partaking in a study-abroad program, CO-OP or other activity that will leave them at UI for more than four years, may see a huge tuition rate hike their last year. The Policy does account for many exceptions including military services, CO-OP's and those enrolled in degree programs requiring more than four years.

If you are on track to make your college experience last with an additional year or so, check out the official University of Illinois Guaranteed Tuition Policy Guidelines to see if you'll be paying more or have a case for exception.
