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.
Tuition/fees breakdown per trimester
Both streams of the Master of Psychology program have the same total tuition and fees, however because the number of credits per trimester differs in each stream, the way the tuition is broken down is slightly different between programs. Please review the charts below for a breakdown of tuition and fees per trimester.
Note: the following tuition breakdown assumes a student is enrolled in a full course load. Costs may differ for students on an alternative registration plan or students with transfer credit.
