Welcome to Loyola
Webinar for Parents
Parents and caretakers, please join us for a special virtual information session entitled "Helping Your Student Navigate College Life" on August 5 at 5 p.m. CDT. We will discuss the support networks and free services available to your student on Loyola’s campus.
Access Your Loyola Accounts
Log into important online platforms.
It’s time to set up your digital accounts so you can access vital information to prepare for your arrival. These are the most important platforms you’ll use on a regular basis as a student at Loyola.
- Log into the Loyola Network through our Single Sign On (SSO) portal
- Access your LORA account
- Sign into your LOYNO Gmail account
Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your accounts (we also emailed you with instructions), and contact the IT Help Desk with any technology-related questions.
Complete Your Advising Survey
Work with your advisor to get your fall schedule.
Want to see what's in store for you this fall? Visit your Admissions Status Portal and complete the "Academic Advising and Involvement Interest Survey."
We'll use the information you provide to create a draft schedule of classes for your first semester. Once you complete the survey, a faculty member in the department you've declared as your major will work one-on-one with you to fine-tune your schedule.
You can always schedule a meeting with one of our academic advisors if you have other questions to help you prepare for success at Loyola.
Complete Your Affordability Questionnaire
Student Financial Services is here to help.
We are here to help in every facet of your college experience — including how you pay for it. Our team at Student Financial Services will work one-on-one with your family to determine the best payment options for you.
You can start this process by completing the Affordability Questionnaire in your Admissions Status Portal.
Contact Student Financial Services for assistance by phone at 504.865.3337 or by email at SFSCenter@loyno.edu.
Submit Your Immunization Records
Make sure you meet Louisiana requirements.
Louisiana law requires all incoming students to submit vaccination documentation. You can print the Proof of Immunization Compliance Form and have it completed and signed by your physician or treatment provider, then upload your immunization record to your Admissions Status Portal.
Please contact Student Health Services at 504.865.3326 with any questions.
Failure to submit the completed form before the first week of school in August will result in the cancellation of your classes.
Health Care Survey
Share your plan for accessing health care during the school year.
