NEXT STEPS
INTENT TO REGISTER
Your first step is to complete the “Intent to Register” form online at
kellstadt.depaul.edu/intent. Submitting this form notifies us that you intend
to enroll at DePaul for the quarter stated in your acceptance letter. When we
receive your “Intent to Register,” your student record will be activated.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
You will find your degree program sheet in your admission packet. This sheet
lets you know if you have been waived from any course requirements, lists
the courses you will need to take to earn your degree and shows the total
number of credit hours you will need to complete.
All incoming KGSB students are required to meet with an academic advisor
before registering for their first quarter of classes. Academic advisors will
assist you with course selection as well as show you how to register for
classes online. There are two options for scheduling your initial advising
appointment: an in-person appointment with an advisor or a telephone
advising appointment. Please contact our office at (312) 362-8810 to
schedule your advising appointment as soon as possible to ensure the
greatest variety of course options.

waive this class based on previous course work, students who feel that they
have a strong background in statistics and calculus may attempt to waive
the course through completing the waiver exam. Visit kellstadt.depaul.edu/
student-resources to learn more.
PHOTO ID CARD AND EMAIL ACCOUNT
After meeting with an advisor and registering for classes, you may obtain a
photo ID card and DePaul email account. The ID card functions as a library
card and also is required for entry into some buildings and computer labs.
ID Services offices are located on all campuses, although hours of operation
vary. For locations and current hours, please visit go.depaul.edu/idservices.
ORIENTATION
An orientation session for incoming KGSB students is usually held fall and
spring quarters, and we strongly encourage you to attend if at all possible.
You will receive an invitation by email with details of our next orientation.
For more information, please contact the KGSB office at (312) 362-8810.
IMMUNIZATION FORMS
Illinois law requires DePaul to have proof of immunizations on file for all
students. We encourage you to submit the immunization form as soon as
possible. If you fail to submit this form by the middle of your first quarter at
DePaul, you will be unable to register for classes for the following quarter.

TUITION AND
FINANCIAL AID
Tuition for graduate students in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business is
$935 per credit hour for the 2012–2013 academic year. Each KGSB class is four
quarter hours, so the cost per class is $3,740.
In addition to tuition, approximately $150 in fees is assessed per quarter (not per
class). These fees include a CTA fee for the U-Pass—a university program that
provides colleges students unlimited rides on CTA-operated bus and rail lines.
Visit upass.depaul.edu for more information.
Complete information about fees, payment plans (including employer tuition
reimbursement) and tuition due dates is available on the Student Accounts
website at studentaccounts.depaul.edu.
Please note: DePaul University has implemented e-billing; you will not
receive a tuition bill in the mail. We encourage you to take some time to
familiarize yourself with the detailed information available on the Student
Accounts website.
HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
U.S. citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) may apply for
federal financial aid. Visit fafsa.ed.gov and complete the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. DePaul’s code is 001671. You’ll
need to complete a FAFSA for each academic year that you want to receive
financial aid. Federal Direct Stafford Loans allow students to borrow money
from the federal government to pay for university expenses. These loans
are processed directly through the Office of Financial Aid. This office will
provide you with the necessary paperwork; to borrow you do not need to
contact a lender.
6
There are two types of direct loans:
1. Subsidized Stafford: Eligibility for subsidized direct loans is based on
financial need. Repayment is deferred until six months after you graduate or
cease to be enrolled at least half time. The interest is paid by the government
while you are in school.
2. Unsubsidized Stafford: Eligibility for unsubsidized direct loans is not
based on financial need. You may borrow the cost of education minus all
other financial aid you receive, up to the annual direct loan maximum.
However, you must either pay the interest while you are enrolled, or it will
be accrued and capitalized to the principal. Repayment of the principal is
deferred until you graduate or cease to be enrolled at least half time.
Once your FAFSA information has been received and processed, you will be able
to accept your student loans online through your Campus Connection account.
For more information, visit DePaul’s financial aid website at
go.depaul.edu/financial_aid.
