Summer Get On Track

To be eligible for this summer grant, freshman students must:

• Have been admitted as a new freshman in the most recent Fall semester
• Have completed (or attempted) at least 12 credit hours (full-time student) in the Fall semester of their freshman year
• Not have earned grades of C- or better in 15 or more credit hours in the Fall semester of their freshman year
• Have earned at least one D+, D, or F grade in the Fall semester of their freshman year
• Be enrolled as a full-time student in the Spring semester of their freshman year
• Be academically eligible to enroll at Loyola for the following Fall semester of their sophomore year. (At the end of the Spring semester of the freshman year, a student must be eligible to continue on into the following Fall semester to be eligible for the SGOT grant to cover summer school courses. Any changes to an academic record for the Fall semester or enrollment status for the Spring semester may affect a student’s eligibility for the SGOT grant; students should consult their primary academic advisor if their Fall semester academic record or Spring semester enrollment status changes.)

The SGOT grant covers tuition and fees for:

• One 3-credit course (plus one 1-credit lab course, if needed) in Summer Session A (1-4 credits)
• One 3-credit course (plus one 1-credit lab course, if needed) in Summer Session B (1-4 credits)
• UNIV 112: Strategies for Learning course (1 credit), in either Summer Session A or Summer Session B

Eligible students are not required to take a course in both Summer Sessions to receive this benefit. Both online and in-person classes are offered each summer, and both types of classes are eligible for this program. The following fees are covered as part of this program: student development fee, technology fee, lab fee, and CTA U-Pass fee, if eligible. Pell grants, if applicable, will be applied first to tuition and fees, and Loyola will cover the rest.

In addition to the SGOT grant, participating students will have access to the following resources and services. These services as well as many others across the university are available to support students in making progress toward their Loyola degree:

• Individualized academic advising on course selection and academic planning
• UNIV 112: Strategies for Learning course (1 credit), which can be taken in Spring semester or during one of the Summer Sessions (A or B)
• Success Coaching
• Peer Tutoring

Eligible students will receive an invitation via Loyola email to participate in the SGOT program. Students will then:

• Schedule an academic advising appointment their primary academic advisor via Navigate360 to discuss course selection for the Summer Session and to develop a plan for academic success during the Spring and Summer terms.
• Enroll in Summer Session courses when registration access opens in February.
• Utilize the various academic resources including Peer Tutoring, Success Coaching, and/or register to take UNIV 112: Strategies for Learning to enhance academic skills.
