Admitted Freshman
Next Steps
Congratulations on your acceptance—and welcome to the Loyola family! We are all excited and can’t wait to see you on campus. When you join Loyola, you are joining a community that embodies the Jesuit traditions of intellectual curiosity, spiritual growth, and being a person for others. Here, we really are preparing you to lead an extraordinary life.
Say yes!
Submit your deposit and reserve your spot at Loyola. You can submit the $500 deposit through your student portal.
Don’t forget
If you haven’t already done so, make sure to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Loyola’s school code is 001710.
If you have submitted your FAFSA already, Financial aid award letters will be mailed beginning in mid January.
There are plenty of options
Research housing options and find out more about our Learning Communities. Deposited students will be able to access the housing contract beginning in early February.
