As the new semester begins, students across campus have been facing challenges when it comes to tuition. The Bursar sent out emails en masse informing students that Spring 2026 tuition payments were past due.

“Our records indicate that you have not paid your tuition balance. Please remit payment in full or enroll in a monthly payment plan by this Friday, January 9, 2026. Non-payment of your Spring 26 tuition and any prior balance could impact your Spring 26 registration,” the email said.

These emails were not restricted to just the students who still had unresolved balances and instead were sent to almost the entirety of the student body.

Despite students being financially cleared from funds from previous semesters, some are still receiving communications stating that they still owe money and are at risk of being removed from classes. 

Political science sophomore Ava Dufrene received an email recently about her spring registration being past due. 

“My initial reaction to the email was frustration. I was worried that a mistake from Loyola would cost me my registration when there wasn’t anything I could do about it,” Dufrene said.

Dufrene believes that this situation caused more stress for students and the department than was necessary and could have been avoided altogether.

“The email being mass sent seemed rather careless and nonsensical. I feel like it ended up causing them more issues/work than if they had sent it individually and only to the people it actually affected. Now they had created more work for themselves because they had to backtrack this mistake,” she said.

As of the publication of this article, there has been no communication sent by any department, including the Bursar, to explain why the mistake happened or ways to rectify the situation.
