Students may be charged on an at-cost basis for such items as textbooks/course packs, proctoring, credit card fees, and career and alumni services. Illinois Tech encourages you to seek tuition reimbursement through your employer. Speak with your manager or HR department to see what’s available to you as an employee.

VA Education and Training Benefits

If you have not processed VA benefits at Illinois Tech before, please complete the following steps:

  2. Send a digital copy of your certificate of eligibility via email to Christopher Lee at clee106@iit.edu.

  3. Register for PBA courses via the Application and PBA Course Registration Form. This is important to avoid tuition charges at registration time.
