Transfer Student Cost Guarantee
Since Summer 1999, Western Illinois University has offered a cost guarantee (no cost increases) for tuition and fees for each new class of entering students. The guaranteed rates remain in effect for four years if students maintain continuous (fall and spring) enrollment. Incoming students in a degree program that requires more than four years to complete will benefit from the guaranteed rate until the expected time of degree completion.
