Bursar/Tuition Payments

The Bursar’s Office offers an enhanced e-Commerce System (with instructional videos) for paying your LIM online program tuition. This service is offered to students for viewing bills, making payments, and managing their student account. In addition, students may set up third party payers as authorized users to access their student account. The student chooses the amount of access they allow their authorized user; they can limit access to only allow payments to be made, or viewing of the student bills.  

Tuition payments may also be made via Flywire or by mail (check or money order) with a copy of the student’s bill. 

Tuition payment options through Loyola’s e-Commerce system include paying by Electronic Check (Free Service) and payment by all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.  Tuition payments by credit card are only accepted online through the e-Commerce processor who will charge a 2.75% non-refundable convenience fee. 

Access the e-Commerce System through your LORA account under the Tuition and Billing Section or through the e-Commerce login page. Accessing your account from either link requires your CWID and PIN.  Please DO NOT use your Social Security Number as it may display incomplete account information. To view your account online at LORA, click on the "Login to Student Services" link and follow the prompts that will appear on the screen. 

Students are billed after pre-registration or at registration. Students who are not early registered and who are registering at the beginning of the term will be expected to make payment at time of registration. Tuition is always due by the first day of class. Questions can be directed to the Bursar's Office staff by e-mailing bursar@loyno.edu or by calling (504) 865-2388
