Payment schedule and plans
Tuition is charged per trimester, based on the number of credits a student is enrolled in for that particular trimester. Tuition is due on the first day of that trimester (Fall: September 1st, Winter: January 1st, Summer: May 1st), OR students may enroll in Adler’s monthly payment plan, which breaks your total trimester payment into four equal installments due on the first of each month of that trimester (example: Fall payments would be Sept 1, Oct 1, Nov 1 and Dec 1). Students must enroll in the monthly payment plan during the registration period and there may be an additional fee for paying through the payment plan.
