Adult Learner Discount

The Adult Degree Completion Program (Accelerated) offers both discounted and deferred tuition to accommodate the adult student’s needs! Lewis University is committed to the education of adult learners. This commitment is reflected in a tuition discount for the Adult Degree Completion Program. The program offers nearly a 17% discount on tuition as compared to our traditional tuition. This is a difference of $90 per credit hour.

Payment Methods:

Lewis University accepts the following methods of payment:

  • Cash
  • Check
  • Money Order
  • Credit Card (online only – credit cards are not accepted in the Business Office or over the phone):

    To provide students with a range of payment options but at the same time trying to reduce costs, we have partnered with Sallie Mae Solutions to enable you to use your MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards for your Lewis charges. Sallie Mae will charge a fee (2.65% of the transaction amount) for this service.

    Additionally, we will also provide a "no-fee" option of ACH payments. ACH allows families to pay tuition electronically by transferring funds from their personal checking and savings accounts.
