Complete Your Affordability Questionnaire
Make a financial plan for your time at Loyola.
An important first step in your college experience is making a plan for how you'll pay for your studies. 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.
Fill Out Your Advising Survey
Work with your advisor to get your schedule.
Want to see what's in store for your first semester? 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. 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.
