Program Costs
Because of the Jesuit commitment to spreading the gospel and training leaders, all LIM on-campus students receive a substantial discount off the regular Loyola University graduate tuition rate.
For LIM’s extension students, an additional discount is then applied to LIMEX graduate tuition because of the in-kind services provided by the local sponsoring diocese/agency. The cost of LIMEX courses taken on a continuing education Certificate basis is also considerably less than the LIMEX graduate tuition rate.
All extension students are assessed tuition and fees on a per course basis. Current tuition and fee schedules are available from the LIM office in New Orleans. Because of the uncertainty of the economy and university budgetary projections, the institute reserves the right to change tuition, fees, or other charges. Extension program students are exempt from most university fees, such as student government and university center fees. There are, however, fees charged for graduation, returned checks, and processing late papers.
Some dioceses and other sponsoring agencies charge a modest fee to help defray administrative costs in the local area. Payment of this fee is not required by nor shared with the Institute and in no way affects a student's academic status in the extension program. However, students are encouraged to pay such a fee to assist in the local operation of the LIMEX program.
