Financing a quality education can be a challenge. Fortunately, at Adler, you don't have to face this challenge alone. Our course schedule allows most of our students to continue to work full-time during school. Most Adler students also qualify for federal or privately funded student loans. Our staff will work with you to establish a plan for financing your Adler education.
Tuition and fees should be paid in full by the 5th business day of the term. Payment in full can be accomplished by applying any combination of the following:
1. Cash, check or credit card
2. Approved loan documents
3. An approved tuition and fee waiver
4. A signed agreement from an employer or state/local agency to cover a specific dollar amount
5. An approved payment plan - There is a $20 charge per term to participate in a payment plan. You will need to pay at least ¼ of your tuition and fees for the term on or before the start date of the term. You would also need to provide a signed agreement to pay the balance in no more than three payments over the course of the class schedule for the current term.

Discounted Tuition
AGS students may, on a space-available basis, repeat any class at one-half the standard tuition cost.
AGS alumni may audit courses for $100.00 per course.
Effective October 1, 2007, alumni disounts apply to persons who have earned an MA Degree from the Adler Graduate School. Alumni meeting this criterion may complete up to four AGS courses. Consistent with AGS' policy concerning the splitting of courses when enrollment exceeds maximum enrollemnt for specific courses, alumni may occasionally be asked to take a course at a later date if available spaces are required for current students
Effective January 1, 2008, the alumni discount will be 20%. This discount will also apply to partial courses. Fees for AGS workshops are subject to separate guidelines.

Refund Policy
A student seeking to drop one or more classes after completing his or her quarterly registration but before the beginning of the affected course(s) must complete a Drop/Add Form and submit it to Student Services.

Before the first hour: 100% refund, minus $60 drop charge
1st through 6th hour of class: 75% refund, minus $60 drop charge
7th through 12th hour of class: 50% refund, minus $60 drop charge
13th through 18th hour of class: 25% refund, minus $60 drop charge
After the 18th hour: No refund

- There is no charge for dropping Internship (591-4) or Advanced Internship (597).
- A grade of "W" will appear on the transcript for any course dropped later than five days before the start of the term.
- Because of its limited enrollment, Group Didactic (529) must be dropped at least 30 days prior to the first night of class. No refund will be issued if 529 is dropped after that time.
- The drop fee may be waived for students in their first term of enrollment.
- Students are expected to complete requirements for the Master's Project (599) within 3 months after they cease to be enrolled in any other coursework at Adler. No refund will be issued to a student who withdraws from 599 after that time. (Exceptions to this policy based on extenuating circumstances may be made on a case-by-case basis.)
- No refund will be issued to any student who stops attending class without submitting a written request for withdrawal to the registrar, or to any student who fails to appear in class (“no-show”), without submitting to the registrar a written request to drop the course. .

Enrollment Information
Student financial aid budgets are determined by the student's declared enrollment status and prior enrollment history.
Full-time status = 6 credits or more per term
Half-time status = 3-5 credits per term
Less-than-half-time status = 2 credits or fewer per term
A student who drops below half-time status is no longer eligible for Title IV student financial aid (Federal Direct Loans or Federal Direct Graduate PLUS loans). Pending disbursements will be cancelled and the student's lender will be notified that the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time. Financial aid recipients are required to notify the financial aid or student services staff of any enrollment changes.
