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. 

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.

The university regrets that circumstances do not permit it to guarantee that published charges will not change.
