Student Fees
Student Activity Fee
This fee provides funding for major speakers, and for all student organizations and activities.
LRAP Supplemental Fee
This fee provides funding for the Chicago-Kent Loan Repayment Assistance Program, which provides assistance to graduates in public interest careers.
Chicago Transit Authority U-Pass
The U-Pass is a discount fare card that can be used for unlimited rides on all CTA buses and trains. All full-time students are required to participate in the U-Pass program and may not opt out. (Please note: We regret that although many part-time students commute via the CTA, due to the CTA's structuring of the program evening students and part-time day students are unable to participate.)
Student Health Insurance
All students registered for at least 12 credit hours, regardless
of their division, are required to have health insurance and will
automatically be billed for student health insurance for the year
unless they provide proof of other health insurance coverage.
Coverage for
dependents and spouses and a dental care plan are also available
for additional charges.
Course Fees
Supplemental course fees are charged in select courses to cover additional costs associated with the course.
Housing
Housing in Chicago is plentiful and relatively affordable for
a large city. Because the law school is easily accessible by public
transportation from most areas of Chicago and its suburbs, most
students rent or share apartments in one of the many neighborhoods
for which Chicago is well-known. Students may also live in dormitory
housing on IIT's Main Campus. For additional information, please
see our Housing Information.
Refund Policy and Payment Plans
Information about the university's refund policy and tuition payment plans is available on the Bursar's Office website at www.iit.edu/bursar/.
