Important payment information for your UIS online program:
If you are enrolling in our online Graduate Accelerated Programs (GAP) through the College of Business and Management, be aware that their tuition deadlines are different from general University tuition deadlines. For GAP, tuition is due to be paid in full the day before classes begin each term. If payment is not received before the first day of classes, you will be administratively withdrawn from the program.
Because the online program that you have applied and been admitted to is based on an 8-week period, while the University customarily addresses programs offered in a 16-week period, you may receive conflicting information from the University of Illinois System Bursar Office. The payment and due dates sent by the bursar office do not apply to your 8-week online courses. If you have questions, please contact your program advisor.
