Tuition Discounts
Loyola University New Orleans alumni, current students enrolled at Loyola University New Orleans, Loyola faculty and staff, and active duty or retired military are eligible for tuition discounts on most courses and programs.

Certificates
Upon successful completion, Loyola University New Orleans Certificates of Completion with Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded to eligible students.
Continuing Education Units, or CEUs, are a nationally recognized standard for documenting successful completion of non-credit programs and courses intended to improve the knowledge and skills of working adults. One CEU equals ten contact hours of participation in organized continuing education classes and/or training conducted by a qualified institution/instructor.
Certificates will be emailed to students who are registered in an eligible program and/or course. If the student would like to have the certificate mailed to a physical address, the student must submit a request by emailing PACS@loyno.edu. There is a $15 fee to have the certificate printed and mailed. The fee is for 1 certificate per program and/or course enrolled. A payment link will be provided for these requests.
Polices
By registering for a PACS course or program, students are agreeing to all the policies and procedures of Loyola University New Orleans.
Refund Policy
Course and program withdrawals must be in writing and sent via email to PACS@loyno.edu.
A $25 cancellation fee will be charged for all course cancellations.
The remaining balance will be refunded if you withdraw from a course or program ten (10) or more business days prior to the course start date.
No refunds will be granted for any enrolled course or program if PACS does not receive a withdrawal notification at least ten (10) business days prior to the start of the course.
If you are on a payment plan, all refund polices apply and any initial deposit and enrollment fees are non-refundable.
If you have applied for a Sallie Mae Career Training Smart Loan, Loyola University's refund policies apply. Please discuss payment reimbursement options with your Sallie Mae representative.
