Tuition is calculated according to the number of courses for which a student is registered in any given semester. For the current academic year, AIC charges $250.00 per course for all degree courses at AIC. For non-degree courses as well as auditing privileges in degree courses, AIC charges $150.00 per course.

AIC is committed to keeping its tuition and fees as low as possible and so within reach for every student. Please contact us if you would like information regarding AIC’s growing array of scholarship possibilities as well as state and federal funding sources.

The following is a sample expense sheet for a full time student at AIC, based upon a course load of 4 courses (13 credits) per semester for an undergraduate and 3 courses (9 credits) per semester for a graduate student:

Now that AIC has formal “Candidacy Status” with the Higher Learning Commission, AIC students will soon be able to access state and federal assistance in paying for their fees. In addition, AIC strives to offer its own internal financial assistance to students who demonstrate need while maintaining good overall academic standing. Typically, AIC’s financial aid awards do not exceed the difference between estimated college costs and the anticipated support from all other sources. Students who wish to apply for financial assistance should notify the AIC Registrar and fill out the AIC Financial Aid Form. Financial assistance is limited, and so students are encouraged to apply early.

Continuation of financial assistance is contingent upon maintenance of good academic standing. Students receiving any kind of assistance from AIC are expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.

Ibn Khaldun Entrance-Year Scholarship

American Islamic College awards partial tuition scholarships to students who demonstrate high academic performance. Students must maintain “good academic standing”, in order for the scholarship to be renewed. Review of the student’s academic standing occurs in January, annually. There is no separate application for the scholarship. Please indicate that you would like to be considered for the scholarship in your application.

If a student has been awarded the scholarship, then a letter will be issued outlining the details. Letters of scholarship renewal will be distributed every January.

Scholarships are available to both part-time and full-time undergraduate and graduate students.

Ibn Khaldun Entrance-Year Scholarship

American Islamic College has limited part-time opportunities for AIC students. Priority is given to students who need to finance their education at AIC. Students who wish to join our AIC-based Work-Study Program should contact the Office of Student Services. Students employed under this program are not permitted to work more than 20 hours per week during the academic term and may not work during scheduled class times.

American Islamic College expects all students to pay the year’s tuition by the first week of class. Students who wish to pay tuition using the monthly installment plan should contact the registrar’s office for further information.

The College is committed to granting scholarships to all students demonstrating qualification and need, as long as they maintain satisfactory academic progress for each year of study.

Non-attendance in a course does not constitute official withdrawal. Students who are registered in a course and yet fail to attend are held responsible both academically and financially for that course. Refunds are given only when the student officially withdraws with the knowledge and permission of the Registrar’s Office.
