Payment Plans
Tuition Installment Plans
Installment plans make tuition payments more affordable by spreading payments over a period of months. Tuition Management Systems (TMS) is Loyola University Chicago's payment plan provider.
Through TMS, Loyola students receive personal account service, 24-hour automated account information, and online account access at: www.afford.com. Students who enroll in a TMS payment plan are entered in a contest to win a $5,000 Tuition Management Systems Scholarship.
Students may choose either the annual payment plan (APP) or the term payment plan (TPP). These plans are offered only for the Fall, Winter and Spring terms. For more information, including applications and payment due dates, click the appropriate link below:

Employer Reimbursement Plan
Loyola University Chicago offers students the option of deferring their expenses through an Employer Reimbursement Plan (ERP).
This plan is designed to enable all students who are eligible for tuition reimbursement from their employer to defer payment of tuition and fees covered under their employer agreement. The application fee is $100.00 per term. All non-reimbursable tuition and fees must be paid at the time of application. This plan is only offered during the Fall, Winter and Spring terms. A student may only apply for the current term.
For example, if a student's employer will pay ninety percent of tuition and fees, then ninety percent of all tuition and fees will be deferred by the Bursar's Office through the ERP. The remaining ten percent, and the $100 application fee, is due upon application.
Students receiving loans are not eligible for ERP. The reason for this is that loans are posted directly to the student account to cover tuition cost first. Therefore, the amount of the loan should be sufficient to cover the entire balance on the student’s account, plus any additional amount the student may need to cover living expenses. Subsequently, any excess of the loan will be refunded to the student once a credit balance is achieved. This, in turn, leaves no balance left to defer.
To apply for the ERP, please submit the Employer Reimbursement Plan (PDF), a copy of the employer's reimbursement plan, the application fee, and the non-reimbursable tuition and fees to either Office of the Bursar location.
Tuition Due Dates
Students who do not enroll in a payment plan must pay Fall 2007 tuition by August 5, 2007, and Spring 2008 tuition by January 5, 2008, in accordance with the Loyola University Chicago tuition payment policy.
