Tuition & Fees

All regular students are assessed tuition and fees on a semester basis.

Tuition and fees pay for approximately 69 percent of the actual cost of operating Loyola for one year. The remaining 31 percent consists of gifts and grants from alumni, friends, faculty, staff, foundations, corporations, and governmental entities as well as income from the university's endowment.

Applicants for admission to Loyola and students who need assistance in paying for their education are encouraged to apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Traditional Undergraduate students are charged a flat rate for tuition if they are enrolled as full-time students having registered for 12 to 21 credit hours. Students taking less than 12 hours are charged on a per-hour basis. Undergraduate adult students enrolled through Loyola's Adult Learning program are charged the flat full-time rate for 13 to 21 credit hours and the per-hour rate for less than 13 credit hours. Students taking more than 21 hours are charged the flat rate, plus the per-hour rate for the hours over 21. This overload rate applies to music, theatre and honors students taking over 23 hours. There is no full-time or flat rate during the summer session.

Because of the uncertainty of the economy and budgetary projections, Loyola University reserves the right to change tuition, fees, or other charges printed herein. The rates listed below are for 2018 – 19.
