Access Your Loyola Accounts
Log into important online platforms.
Get started by setting up your Loyola email and access the Loyola network, known as the Single Sign On (SSO) portal. Check your email for step-by-step instructions to access your Loyola accounts, including instructions for free access to Microsoft Office 365. You’ll use your Microsoft login for access to SSO, LORA Self-Service where you will register for classes, and most other online accounts at Loyola. Find more tips on this page.
Contact the IT Help Desk with any technology-related questions by calling 504.865.2255 or emailing support@loyno.edu using your Loyno email address.
Once you're logged into your Gmail account, you may choose to change your name by following these instructions.
Complete Your Advising Survey
Work with your advisor to get your schedule.
Want to see what's in store for your first semester? Students in the College of Arts and Science and in the College of Music and Media should complete the Academic Advising and Involvement Interest Survey in the Admissions Status Portal. Once you complete your survey, it usually takes your advisor about two weeks to reach out to you with your draft schedule for further discussion.
Complete Your Health Requirements
Submit your immunization records and review your health insurance coverage.
All students are required by Louisiana law to submit immunization records. The deadline to submit Immunization records or requests for exemption is January 9, 2026. Loyola has partnered with Med+Proctor to make the process to submit your immunizations as easy and user-friendly as possible. Follow the instructions on Loyola’s immunization website page to submit proof of immunization. For questions about your immunization requirements, please email immunization@loyno.edu.
All full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in Loyola’s student health insurance plan. You are required to use Loyola’s plan unless you can provide proof of comparable, existing coverage for the academic year. See plan details and review instructions to waive coverage.
Submit Your ID Photo
Upload your headshot for your ID card.
Log into your Admissions Status Portal and upload your headshot in the "Upload Materials" section. Be sure to select "ID Photo" from the dropdown menu. We will use your photo to make your Loyola ID, which you will receive when you arrive on campus. Please submit your photo by December 10, 2024 for processing.
Photo Criteria
- Photos should reflect your current appearance—no sunglasses, hats, or head coverings (unless worn for religious purposes)
- Stand in front of a plain, light colored background and use a neutral face expression with both eyes open
- Place camera directly in front you: full face and shoulder tops should be visible
- Clear, color images that are oriented upright only with a high resolution JPEG format (most cell phone cameras can provide this)
- Photos taken of your driver's license, current school ID, passport or that feature another person in them will not be accepted
Add an Emergency Contact and Complete Your Registration Agreement
Complete both steps in LORA Self-Service
You are required to add your emergency contact information and complete the registration agreement in LORA Self-Service. Students who fail to submit an emergency contact/registration agreement before the start of the semester may risk being dropped from their courses. Follow these steps:
- Log into LORA Self-Service and find the “User Options” dropdown in the menu.
- Select “Emergency Contacts” from the dropdown, and you’ll have the option to “Add a New Contact” or “Edit” your existing emergency contacts.
- To add a new emergency contact, add the person’s name, relationship, phone number(s), and address. Check the “Emergency Contact” and “Missing Person Contact” checkboxes at the bottom as appropriate.
- Go back to the “User Options” dropdown and select the option that says, “Required Agreements” and click on the agreement form to complete it.
