When you are working on your budget for graduate school, you need to look at several areas including, but not limited to: Tuition, Required Fees, Health Insurance, Housing, Food, Transportation, and Financial Aid. It is always best to start with financial aid and reviewing the Cost of Attendance. Below are a list of resources at Tulane University that you can use in planning your budget, enrolling in classes, paying your tuition bill and other important resources available to you at Tulane.

Tulane Tuition and Billing
Due to the current high volume of course registrations, the process may take up to 21 days
Tulane Accounts Receivable
Most PhD students receive full tuition funding (not including required fees) which is included in the offer of admission.
MS students may receive a special tuition discount (which would be included in the offer of admission) based on department recommendation or financial need.
Certificate Program only students (US Military, Federal or State Employees) may also qualify for a special tuition rate (which is included on the offers of admission).
Billing adjustments are done manually so it usually takes between 5 to 10 business days for your bills to be adjusted. You will not be penalized if your billing adjustment is not done before your bill is due to be paid. If your bill has not been adjusted and a payment is due, it is recommended that you pay what you know you owe (your portion of the bill if the bill had been adjusted). If you are uncertain about what you owe (what you are responsible for paying), you may want to sign up for the payment plan (or if you are a student employee - the payroll deduction plan) in order to have your bill paid in a timely manner.
For Example: If your tuition bill is $30,000 but your know that you were offered a tuition discount/waiver/scholarship and your tuition will be corrected to be $10,000, then you should pay $10,000 (the amount that you know that you owe).
