Tuition & Financial Aid

Tuition Costs
Up-to-date tuition costs for academic year 2007-2008 are available through the Office of Student Accounts website. There is no special cost for attending on different campuses or through distance learning, nor are there any out-of-state costs.

The cost of undergraduate tuition is determined in one of two ways: by the credit-hour for part-time students and through the package cost for full-time students.

• Part-time undergraduate students are those students taking fewer than 12 credit hours in a quarter. Because most CDM courses are worth four credit hours, this usually means part-time students are those students taking fewer than three courses.
  
  
• Full-time students are those students taking 12 to 18 credit hours, or three or four courses. Full-time students are charged the package price for tuition for the three quarters of the regular academic year. If a student takes more than 18 credits in any given quarter, the student is charged the part-time rate for the additional credit hours.

Financial Aid Eligibility
Completing a current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the first step to determining your overall eligibility for financial aid. Subsidized loans (based on financial need) and unsubsidized loans (non-need based) are available depending upon each student's unique financial status. To obtain a current FAFSA, you may visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  or contact the DePaul Financial Aid office. Remember to include DePaul's school code 001671 on the FAFSA.
