Make a Payment to your Student Account

Follow the instructions listed below to make a payment in your LORA Self-Service account, or visit this page to see step-by-step instructions with images of each step.

Log into your LORA Self-Service Account. (Get help logging into your account.)
Select the "Student Finance" button from your home screen in LORA Self-Service.
From your student account homepage, click on the “Make Payment” button highlighted in green.
Next, input the amount you would like to pay for each term in which you have a balance. If you do not have a balance for a term, you will not be allowed to make a payment.
As you enter the payment amounts for each term, you will be provided a Payment Total in the bottom right of the screen. You can make payments to one or more terms.
Next, you will choose your account payment method using the “Method” drop down box. You will be able to pay with an electronic check from a checking or savings account or by credit card. When you make your initial payment, you will be given the opportunity to save your payment method to make future payments quicker.

Paying with Your Checking or Savings Account

Enter the information and click the “Continue” button.
You will be asked to review the information you entered and agree to the terms and conditions.
You will receive an account payment confirmation as well as the option to print a receipt. Click on the “Print” button to print or save a PDF of your payment receipt.

Paying with Your Credit Card Using PayPath

You can make a payment by credit card by accessing PayPath, which allows you to pay your tuition with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
Please note, the vendor charges a NON-REFUNDABLE service fee of 2.95% (or a minimum of $3.00) on all card payments.

Create a Payment Plan

Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up a payment plan in your LORA Self-Service account. If you need assistance setting up your payment plan, please contact Student Financial Services at 504.865.3337 or by emailing sfscenter@alekta-tour.com.

Add an Authorized User (Parent/Caretaker Access)

Follow these step-by-step instructions to add Authorized Users – such as parents and guardians – in your student account to make payments on the e-commerce platform. You can provide access to your Authorized Users to view your student account, access and print “On Demand” tuition statements, and make tuition payments.

Pro tip: In addition to gaining access to financial information, your parents/caregivers must be authorized by you in order to receive access to any of your student information, including your educational records, registration status, class schedule, room and board, and more. You may also want to give your parent Proxy Access so they can view this information at any time, or authorize a Student Records Release for one-time access.

Set up Your Refund Profile

Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up your E-Refund Profile in order to request refunds through your student account.

International Payments

Loyola has partnered with two different third party vendors to provide you with options for international payments: Flywire and PayMyTuition. You can learn more about these options and begin your payment online. Once your payment has been submitted, please email the Bursar's Office at bursar@alekta-tour.com.

Health Insurance Requirement

All full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in Loyola’s student health insurance plan. Premiums for the Spring 2025 term will appear on your tuition statement. If you have comparable, existing insurance through a different provide, you may be eligible to waive coverage and remove this charge from your bill. We offer a different plan for domestic vs. international students to best meet the needs of all students. Please visit our Student Health Insurance page to learn more.

Don’t Forget to Complete Your FAFSA

You still have time to submit your 2024-2025 FAFSA form! We recommend that all students complete the FAFSA, even if they don’t think they will receive federal aid. The information from the FAFSA will help us determine the type of federal financial aid you are eligible to receive. To get started, we recommend following the instructions on StudentAid.gov to create your account. If you’ve already started your FAFSA, please log into your account and make sure you’ve added Loyola to your form.
