Saints Essentials

Saints Essentials:
Socially, Academically, Spiritually, and Physically,
Thomas More University commits to meeting the essential needs of every student on our campus.


Program Philosophy

The Saints Essentials program makes sure that new Thomas More students will be able to focus on what’s most important: their education!
Beginning with the Fall 2023 incoming class, new Saints will have all of their essential needs – from dining, to parking, to technology use – covered by their tuition.

Instead of navigating a long list of fees or trying to fill in the gaps in college amenities, students will have the time and resources they need to focus on their academic success and personal wellbeing.
