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.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
Illinois Tech is paying $1 million total into the settlement. After attorneys' fees, costs, and a representative award, what's left gets split equally among the roughly 6,200 people in the class. Your share arrives as a check to your last known address on file with Illinois Tech.

How to file this claim
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
- Make sure you qualify: you paid tuition or fees to Illinois Tech for Spring 2020, and you were not enrolled in a program that was already fully online before March 23, 2020.
- Do nothing and a check will be mailed to your last address on file with Illinois Tech after the Final Approval Hearing on June 24, 2026.
- Optional: if your address has changed or you'd prefer Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal, go to https://www.iltech2020settlement.com/form/claim/ and submit the election form by September 10, 2026.
- To log into the election form, you'll need the Unique ID and PIN printed on the mailed Notice you received.
Documents you'll need
- Mailed Notice (contains Unique ID and PIN) (required)
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.

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
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?

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.
