Federal Aid Eligibility You must enroll for at least 5 credit hours and/or “Practicum” or “Dissertation” each semester to be eligible for federal aid. Realize that academic decisions, especially the adding and dropping of credit hours, will most likely directly impact your financial aid award.

Cost of Attendance 2019 Summer Tuition & Fees Based on current 2018-2019 rate schedule: $ 1,319 tuition per credit hour + $ 100 academic support fee per credit hour = $ 1,419 total per credit hour + $ 100 technology fee for summer semester Living Expenses Based on actual weeks of enrollment Based on 2019-2020 budgets $507 per week for resident students or $208 per week for commuter students $50 per credit hour for books ($150 for Practicum and/or Dissertation)

Loan Processing Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan * No need to e-sign a new Direct MPN if borrowed this year * Unless you tell us differently, we will certify for the maximum amount eligible Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan * No need to e-sign new Direct Grad PLUS MPN if borrowed this year; HOWEVER…Note that for Grad PLUS for 2019 summer and then again for the 2019-2020 academic year a credit check is performed by DOE. Non-federal Private Loan If borrowing non-federal, private student loan funds, then must complete lender’s loan application process (preferred private lenders offer an on-line application process). You need to complete separate private loan applications for the 2019 summer and for the 2019-2020 academic year. All non-federal, private loans are credit based.

Billing of Tuition & Fees You are billed tuition for every credit hour enrolled. Practicum is billed at $50 tuition per semester. Tuition and fees are billed at the start of the summer semester.

Example #1 Revisited Financial Aid Budget for the 2019 Summer Semester: assumptions: * enrolled for 6 credit hours * enrolled for 4 weeks * not residing with parents Tuition & fees: $ 8,614 Room & Board: $ 1,520 Books: $ 300 Transportation: $ 332 Miscellaneous: $ 176 TOTAL: $10,942

Example #1 Revisited Financial Aid Award for the 2019 Summer Semester: (based on prior cost of attendance = $10,942) Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan: $ 10,942 TOTAL: $ 10,942 Thus, total financial aid award = total cost of attendance.

Disbursements of Aid Loan period for the 2019 spring semester: 05/13/19 to 08/16/19 Federal regulations allow for a single disbursement of Federal Direct loan funds during a loan period, all at the start of enrollment. Federal Direct loans disburse loan funds via electronic fund transfer (EFT) to Tulane. All eligibility criteria must be satisfied prior to disbursement of aid.

Refunds With all aid arriving at start of the semester: Tuition & fees $ 8,614 - Unsubsidized Direct $10,942 = A/R balance ($2,320) + Refund $ 2,320 = A/R balance $ 0
