TULANE TUITION PREPAYMENT PLAN
The Treasurer's Office administers this plan to allow parents or students to prepay
future years' tuition at current rates. Prepayments are separately invested and
earnings accrue to the fund to offset tuition increases. Student accounts are
charged and credited with each semester's cost of tuition. The program is
available for a minimum of two years and a maximum of four years. The
program covers basic tuition charges and the Academic Support Services Fee. It
may not be used for student activity fees, Reily Center Fee, health center fee,
room, board, or other charges.
VETERANS' BENEFITS
The Office of the University Registrar fulfills the university's obligations to
students receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration. To apply for
benefits, students should contact the Veterans Administration office in their
hometown for information regarding benefits, preferably before their first
registration at the university.
The Veterans Administration sends either a Certificate of Eligibility or a Form
DD214 directly to students, who must then bring it to the Office of the University
Registrar. Students transferring from other colleges or universities should supply
a transcript from their previous school and initiate Change-of-Training-Place
applications at their hometown Veterans Administration Office. Student
enrollments will be certified by the University for the Veterans Administration
after registration for the semester.
Dependents may qualify for assistance under the Dependent Educational
Assistance (DEA) Program, if either parent has died as a result of active wartime
service in the armed forces. Eligible students should apply to their hometown
