New Student Checklist
These important tasks should be completed by students before the new semester begins:
-
Student Health Insurance
Waive out of Loyola's Student Health Insurance through LOCUS if you are already covered by a parent’s insurance plan or your own policy. Waivers will not be accepted after October 1 (new Fall students) or February 28 (new Spring students).
Fast-track in through LOCUS if you want to keep Loyola’s Student Health Insurance.
