| New skills. New ideas. New thoughts. New friendships. You will discover all of these and more throughout your years at Loyola. Loyola’s Pre Fall orientation experience, offers you the opportunity to jump right in with one of six programs. From outdoor experience to service immersion, you can explore some of the exciting aspects of Loyola and its surrounding community. As a participant in a Pre Fall program, you will meet a variety of people who share similar interests. You will get to know fellow students and spend time with Loyola administrators and faculty outside the office or classroom. If you are a resident student, you also will have the benefit of moving into your new residence before you begin your pre fall program. We challenge you to take this opportunity to meet new people and acquire new skills. Whatever your interests, Loyola offers a program that is right for you. Registration for each of these programs will occur between May 17 and July 17. Many of these programs fill quite quickly. To ensure fairness for all students we will not accept applicants until that time. Beginning on May 17 you may come back to this page to find an online registration form.
