Illinois Tech $1 Million Tuition Class Action Settlement
If you paid tuition or fees to Illinois Tech for Spring 2020, you're getting a check automatically — you don't need to file anything. The only reason to act before September 10, 2026 is if your address has changed or you'd rather get paid via Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal.
You may qualify if you were an Illinois Tech student who paid or were obligated to pay tuition, fees, or other costs to Illinois Tech for the Spring 2020 academic term, excluding students who enrolled in exclusively online programs prior to March 23, 2020. Claim deadline: September 10, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on August 30, 2026.
Open to residents of: Illinois
Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.

What you'll need to file
From our inspection of the official claim form:
- Filing method Portal (notice ID required)

How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Documents you'll need

Watch out for
- The court still needs to approve the settlement at the Final Approval Hearing on June 24, 2026. Payments go out only after that.
- September 10, 2026 is the hard cutoff for the election form. Miss it and you can't update your address or payment method.
- If your mailing address has changed since you were at Illinois Tech and you don't update it, your check will go to the old address on file.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

Where is the official Illinois Tech $1 Million Tuition Class Action Settlement claim form?
This record does not currently have an open public claim form. Check the official settlement site for current instructions. Never pay a fee to claim a settlement payment.
Do I have to do anything to get paid?
No. If you're in the class, a check will be mailed automatically to the address Illinois Tech has on file for you. The only action needed is if you want to update your address or switch to a digital payment.
How much will I receive?
The total fund is $1 million. After attorneys' fees and costs are deducted, the remaining amount is split equally among approximately 6,200 class members. The settlement website doesn't specify an exact per-person dollar amount.
What's the September 10, 2026 deadline for?
That's the deadline to submit the election form if you want to update your mailing address or receive your payment through Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal instead of a check. Missing it just means you get a check at your old address — you're still getting paid.
What if I already moved and didn't update my address?
Log in at iltech2020settlement.com using the Unique ID and PIN from the mailed Notice and submit your new address before September 10, 2026. You can also call the administrator at (877) 272-1163.
Does receiving this payment mean I give up my right to sue Illinois Tech?
Yes. Staying in the settlement (including doing nothing and taking the check) means you release your claims related to the Spring 2020 tuition and fee issues. If you want to keep your right to sue separately, you'd need to have excluded yourself by the May 28, 2026 deadline.
