Program details to confirm

The $7,038 full-semester tuition is the non-resident rate for Fall 2026 through Summer 2027 and applies to international students; the resident rate is different. The $175 application charge, $130 international-student fee, approximately $170 U-Pass where available, and required health insurance are separate or conditional. Fall and spring semesters span 16 calendar weeks with about 14 instructional weeks; summer spans 12 calendar weeks with about 10 instructional weeks. No single weekly tuition rate is inferred across those schedules. UIC says to pay IEP tuition and fees after classes begin and never to a recruiter or agent.

18 school-stated instructional hours per week in fall and spring. Summer lists 24 to 25; the displayed figure is not a year-round schedule or a visa eligibility decision.

Do you need a visa for this program?

The school reports a weekly class load of 18; its unit may not equal 60 minutes. For this course at University of Illinois Chicago Tutorium, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor.

Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.
