Loyola University Chicago

Payments should be mailed to:

Loyola University Chicago
PO Box 4386
Carol Stream, IL 60197-4386

Please include the payment coupon found with your e-Bill and your student ID number on checks or money orders sent as a tuition payment.

You may also pay in person at one of our cashier offices:

Lake Shore Campus: Sullivan Center for Student Services, 1st Floor
Water Tower Campus: 25 E. Pearson Lobby, Student Services Center

The Office of the Bursar reserves the right to assess a late fee at any point after the payment due date for unpaid accounts. The late fee is 1.5% of the unpaid balance and may be assessed every 30 days until the account is paid in full.

You may view holds on your registration on LOCUS, Loyola's online student services. For a financial hold to be removed, all debts and requirements must be met. Unmet debts will prevent you from receiving a transcript or your diploma. Furthermore, you will not be able to register for future terms until your account balance is at $0.00.  Please note that any payments made by personal check may be held for up to 14 business days before officially clearing the account of any holds or debts.

If you have signed up for a TMS payment plan, your LOCUS account will have an "FAP" or "FTP" service indicator attached to it. This service indicator does not block your ability to register. This is merely an indicator that you are enrolled in a payment plan.

Electronic billing statements are generated on the 15th day of every month and can be found on LOCUS. Any charges not covered by financial aid are due on the 5th day of the following month. E-Bills notifications will be sent to the student's Loyola email address as well as the email of any third party the student has set up to have Parent/Guest Access to the e-Bills.

In addition, you are always able to check the Account Summary on LOCUS. If a charge on the e-Bill is incorrect, students should contact the Bursar's Office. More information on e-Bills can be found at Electronic Billing.

You may verify whether your payment has been received by logging onto LOCUS and viewing your Account Summary. If you receive an e-Bill but you know that you have sent a payment, it is possible your payment arrived after the e-Bills were generated. Contact the Bursar's Office if your payment cannot be verified on LOCUS.

You may verify that a refund check or direct deposit has been generated and for how much by checking your tuition account on LOCUS. According to university policy, all refund checks are mailed to the student's current permanent address on LOCUS, unless the student is signed up for direct deposit into his/her bank account.  Direct Deposit information should be entered in LOCUS under Campus Finances and Refund DDP Profile. It is the student's responsibility to update address and banking information. Incorrect addresses will delay the receipt of your refund check. Incorrect banking information for direct deposit will result in a refund check being generated and mailed to your permanent address. 

Credit balances resulting from a credit card payment on TouchNet will be refunded back to the credit card used to process that payment (less the 2.75% convenience fee which is retained by TouchNet). 

Refunds resulting from PLUS loans will be sent in the parent's name to the parent's address.

To waive your health insurance premium, follow the steps outlined in LOCUS under Campus Finances.

Once you have waived out of Loyola's health insurance program, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Keep this e-mail for your records. You will be asked to present this e-mail in the event of a waiver dispute.

For loan options, contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance at: 773.508.7704; or e-mail: finaid@luc.edu. If your balance is not paid by the end of the term, your account may be sent to a professional collection agency where additional collection costs may be added to your already-existing tuition balance. Furthermore, the unpaid tuition balance may negatively affect your credit report. It is very important that your account is paid by the end of each term.

We accept cash, checks, e-checks (ACH), and credit cards. ACH and credit card payments may be made through LOCUS. Loyola accepts American Express, Discover and MasterCard online via TouchNet PayPath. We do not accept Visa. There is a 2.75% non-refundable charge for credit card use. There is no fee for using ACH online.

Tuition Management Systems (TMS) is Loyola's payment plan provider.

The payment plan is available for a small enrollment fee and includes personal account service, automated account information 24 hours a day, access to your account through the TMS Website (www.afford.com), and a chance to win a $5,000 TMS scholarship.
