Discover Loyola (and Financial Aid)
At Discover Loyola, you’ll learn how to use important University resources like Loyola’s Online Connection to University Resources (LOCUS), which allows you to register for classes and track your financial assistance. You will also get your Campus Card (student I.D.), familiarize yourself with Loyola’s campuses, and meet some of your new classmates.
The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) wants to make the financial assistance portion of Discover Loyola as simple—and as thorough—as possible. This web page is designed to provide the key items that students receive and complete during and after the Discover Loyola session:
Before Discover Loyola
About a week before each session, OSFA sends important financial assistance information to each student attending that session. The goal of this letter is to identify a few things you can complete and check off the “to do” list before you arrive on campus in the fall. The information includes:
Financial Aid Update, which outlines where you currently are in the financial assistance process. The Update is customized for you and may list steps you need to complete before you can receive your funds. If any additional documentation is needed, you may bring the items with you to Discover Loyola, or fax the information to us now at 773.508.3397.
Each Financial Aid Update has a customized Steps To Receiving Your Financial Assistance
Discover Loyola: Financial Aid Notes and Key Information, a document that informs you of all the financial assistance steps you must complete this summer (if you haven’t already done so). These documents address the most frequently asked questions we receive from students and parents, so please review all the information in detail. It also is designed so that you may print it and have a page to use for notes during the Financial Assistance presentation at Discover Loyola.
