For those students returning to Aquinas, as you look ahead to your next steps, now is the time to begin planning for the coming months — both summer and the 2026–27 academic year. 

Planning for Summer 2026
To help you stay on track toward graduation, we are offering summer courses at a reduced tuition rate of $250 per credit hour. Registration is now open through Self Service. You may also take advantage of summer apartment housing for $1,600 for the Summer term — an excellent option for students who want to enjoy all that Grand Rapids has to offer while continuing their studies.

Planning for the 2026-27 Academic Year
The 2026–27 Housing Application is now open. All current residential students have received an email with instructions for applying. Details are posted on the Housing and Residence Life webpage.

Looking ahead to the 2026–27 year (fall and spring semesters), tuition for undergraduate students enrolled in 12–20 credits will be $21,420 per semester. Please review the updated room and board rates, including details for individual housing and meal plan options.

As you prepare for the coming year, please keep the following resources in mind:

  • The FAFSA deadline is June 30, 2026. We strongly encourage you to file as early as possible, as early submission may improve your eligibility for financial aid — even if you have not filed in the past. For assistance with FAFSA completion or maximizing your financial aid, please reach out to the Financial Aid Office at finaid@aquinas.edu or (616) 632-2893.
  • Aquinas scholarships will renew automatically for students who continue to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
  • Additional information about tuition and fees is available on the Tuition & Fees webpage.
  • Details about payment plans can be found through Student Accounts, or by contacting the office at (616) 632-2864, texting (616) 229-3485, or emailing studentaccounts@aquinas.edu.
