Tuition Refund
When a student withdraws or reduces their enrollment, the student may be entitled to a tuition credit. Please refer to the tuition refund schedule.
Federal Pell Grant eligibility is calculated based on the student’s enrollment status at the time funds will be disbursed. Federal financial aid programs assume students will complete a full semester. Aid eligibility must be recalculated if a student totally withdraws or is dismissed from the university before 60 percent of the semester has been completed. Aid will be adjusted based on the number of days in the semester that have elapsed before the student indicated an intent to withdraw to a university official.
Institutional academic and merit scholarships are calculated based on the assumption that students will enroll and be charged full-time tuition. If a student on scholarship aid withdraws from a course and receives a tuition refund, the scholarship will be proportionately reduced based on the reduced tuition cost for the semester.
The university’s general policy on refunds is described below. Federal statute requires an alternate calculation for recipients of federal Title IV financial assistance. More information on the alternate calculation for federal aid can be obtained from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
Although Loyola has no monthly payment plan of its own, students may subscribe to one of two plans offered by outside companies. TuitionPay by Higher One and Tuition Management Systems, Inc. offer families several monthly payment options to help make education expenses more affordable. The interest-free monthly payment option enables families to spread all or part of the annual tuition, fees, residence hall charges, and board plans over equal, monthly payments. There are no interest charges, only a small annual fee.
For Professional and Continuing Studies and College of Business working students with employer reimbursement plans, the university will defer payment on 90 percent of tuition and regular fees. To become eligible for this deferment, the student must submit to the dean’s office a copy of the employer’s reimbursement policy and each semester submit verification on company letterhead of the student’s eligibility in the plan.
Incoming students and returning students who have pre-registered are mailed a bill for tuition, fees, residence hall charges, and board plans prior to the beginning of the semester.
The Loyola Express Card is much more than just a student identification card; it is a safe, convenient, and economical way to make purchases all over campus without carrying cash, checks, or change. Much like a debit card, students simply deposit money into their Express Card account, and purchases are deducted from the account balance. It has proven to be an excellent method to pre-plan and monitor expenditures.
Loyola Dining Services offers several meal plan options that offer a combination of all-you-can-eat meals and the declining balance dollars, known as Wolf Bucks. The all-you-can-eat meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Wolf Bucks are used for snacks, and late night dining. Additional Wolf Bucks may be purchased in $100 increments.
Charges for room and board are due on a semester basis and is billed along with tuition and fees. The residence hall contract is for one academic year (both fall and spring semesters). First-year and sophomore students residing outside of the metropolitan New Orleans area are required to live in a university residence hall.
A remission of 100 percent of tuition is allowed to all students who are 65 years or older. The remission does not apply to normal student fees, and courses must be taken for audit.
All regular students are assessed tuition and fees on a semester basis.
These fees and the tuition pay for only about 85 percent of the actual cost of operating Loyola for one year. The other 15 percent is made up with funds raised by the annual fund program from alumni, friends, faculty, staff, foundations and corporations; revenues from university endowment and revenues from the residence halls and meal plans.
Credit Hour Certification Rules for all students
Immediately following registration held in the beginning of each semester, students who are enrolled in a V.A. approved program may be eligible for benefits through the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs. All inquiries concerning the certification should be directed to the Office of Student Records.
Each instructor must announce at the beginning of the semester how attendance in class will affect grading. For example, the instructor may judge that attendance in class is imperative and demand adherence to a policy that a student is liable to receive an F at the discretion of the instructor if he or she misses a specified number of the classes. Attendance will not be required on the major religious holidays of your faith. Failure to attend any term without applying for a leave of absence requires reapplication and readmission to the university.
