Undergraduate Payment Plans
Students may elect to pay tuition over time, using the Elmhurst College Payment Plan. Here is how it works:
- First, the College subtracts financial aid from your account balance.
- Before the term begins, you pay 20 percent of the balance on your account.
- You pay the remaining balance in monthly installments over the next four months.
A 1 percent monthly service charge is added to any unpaid balance.
