Application Fee Information

New students are required to submit a $40 nonrefundable application fee or apply for a fee waiver. Applicants who may qualify for an economic hardship waiver, veterans who served on active duty for a minimum of one year, former ISU students returning to the same degree level, and permanent employees and retirees of Illinois State University are exempt from paying the fee.

Your application will not be processed until the $40 application fee or fee waiver verification is received. The fee or waiver verification must be received by the supporting document deadline for the term for which you are applying. The fee will not be returned to applicants who are denied admission or applicants who fail to submit the necessary information for an admission decision.
