Admission, Financial Aid and Fees One credit is equivalent to four semester hours. For purposes of fee calculation, a fulltime student is defined as a traditional undergraduate student (adult undergraduate special programs students are not included) who is enrolled for a minimum of three credits (12 semester hours). Each January, Elmhurst College offers a special term. Students registering for a January Term course may be able to explore an area of academic interest or fulfill either an Integrated Curriculum requirement or a requirement in their major field of study. Full-time traditional undergraduate students who are charged the comprehensive fee and enrolled for both Fall and Spring Terms and receive credit for 3.00 to 4.75 credits may take a January Term course at no additional cost (does not include adult under-
graduate accelerated programs students). Traditional undergraduate students who are charged the comprehensive fee and enrolled full time for either Fall Term or Spring Term will be charged at a rate of one-half the cost of the course. Students who are not registered full time for either Fall Term or Spring Term will be charged $3,836 for a January Term course taken during the 2014–2015 academic year.

All room charges are based on double occupancy. Single occupancy is offered at $ 3,941 per term. The College offers three different meal plans, depending upon the amount of food students wish to purchase. An overhead fee is included. Meal plan options may be changed at the end of Fall Term. Food purchases are charged to the meal plan on an a la carte basis. Residence hall students are required to participate in the meal plan program. Elmhurst College reserves the right to change these rates effective at the beginning of any term. Fees for 2015–2016 will be announced during the 2014–2015 academic year.
