FINANCIAL AID
The Tulane University Health Sciences Center's (TUHSC) Office of Financial Aid has a website,
you'll be able to check the status of your financial aid application, view your financial aid
award details, and learn other information regarding the financing of your medical school
education. The website address is:
http://www.finaidhsc.tulane.edu
If you will be, or intend to be, a recipient of student financial aid, you should make contact
with the TUHSC Office of Financial Aid, 504-988-6135, (Room 1213 of the Tidewater Building)
when you arrive in New Orleans. Scholarship recipients are reminded to complete the "Scholarship
Recipient Profile" form (if applicable) and return it to Tulane's Office of Advancement. If you
intend to borrow from loan programs administered by the TUHSC Office of Financial Aid, be sure
that all of your loan application materials are properly completed.
TUITION AND FEES
It will NOT be necessary for any tuition payment to be made at registration. Thus, for orientation
and the beginning of the academic year, students need to ensure they have enough cash-on-hand to
handle their personal matters only.
All students will be billed for tuition and fees in two equal installments. Tuition and fees are the same
for all Medical School Students, $21,333.00 per installment, breaking down as follows:
Tuition: $40,000.00
Academic Support Services fee: $2,000.00
Activity Fee: $80.00
Reilly Center Fee: $150.00
Student Health Services Fee: $436.00
Total Tuition and Fees: $42,666.00
Occupational Health Fee, Disability Insurance, and Travel Assistance Insurance (Provided by the University)
BILLING DATES
Tuition and fees for the fall term will be posted to the student's Accounts Receivable account in
July. Tuition and fees for the spring term will be posted to the student's Accounts Receivable
account in December. Tulane utilizes electronic billing on a monthly basis. Account balances
are to be paid before the due date. Each E-billing has the due date listed. E-bills are distributed
to the student's @tulane.edu email address as the official notification of billing. Students may
add up to five additional email addresses by accessing the Accounts Receivable web site main
page (www2.tulane.edu/acctrec) and submitting the
additional email addresses for bill distribution.
Billing statements will be emailed from the Accounts Receivable Office of Tulane University.
Students are expected to remit full payment by the due date listed on the statement. Any amount
unpaid as of the closing date will incur a finance charge computed at a rate of one and one-half
per cent per month. It is important for students to remember that the University has the right
to refuse enrollment to any student who has a delinquent balance with Accounts Receivable. In
accordance with University policy, transcripts will not be furnished for any person whose
account has not been settled.
Any student experiencing financial difficulty should seek the advice and assistance of the
medical school's Office of Financial Aid.
BILLING ADDRESSES
When you register, the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs will require a permanent address,
a local address, and a billing address. Forms will be provided for this. For most students, the
permanent address should be different from the local address and should be the address that you
consider "home" when not in school. It will be used on transcripts, in letters of recommendation,
in official lists of students published in bulletins and directories, etc.
If you change your address before registration, please notify the Office of Admissions and Student
Affairs. The phone number is 504-988-5331 or 504-988-5187, and the fax # is 504-988-6462. The mailing
address is 1430 Tulane Avenue, SL 67, New Orleans, LA 70112-269. You can also email Susanna
Vargas at rvargas@tulane.edu.
