Tuition and Fees

The average cost of a semester of study at the Chicago campus includes tuition, room and board, mandatory fees, and medical insurance, and is estimated at roughly $13,000, depending on course enrollment and student lifestyle preferences. (This does not include books, supplies, or personal expenses). Due to the generosity and sacrificial giving of Moody supporters, Chicago undergraduates may be eligible for full coverage of their tuition cost. See Financial Aid for details and eligibility requirements.

To estimate your costs per semester, please view the fees online at Chicago Undergraduate Tuition and Fees. Please be advised that this list reflects the most common fees for the current year and are subject to change for the next academic year.

A complete list of Tuition and Fees is found in the Undergraduate Student Catalog.

Payment Options

If students are expecting institutional scholarships, outside scholarships, or loans to help cover their balance and it is not awarded by Moody's due date, students are still responsible for making payments by the due date for the total balance due. Contact student.accounts@moody.edu with any questions regarding your bill. 

Payment in Full

Balances are due January 1 for the spring semester. A $25.00 late fee will be charged each month that the bill remains outstanding, unless student is enrolled in the Moody Payment Plan.

Moody Payment Plan

The payment plan allows students to divide the semester's cost into monthly payments (December through April), due on the twentieth of each month. These are set up through PayMyTuition, and are withdrawn automatically from a bank account or debit/credit card. There is a non-refundable $65 enrollment fee per semester. For more details about the Moody Payment Plan, please visit Chicago Undergraduate Tuition and Fees.
