| Involvement in Summer Orientation is an important step to becoming a new student at Loyola. The campus community comes together to welcome you and your family. During orientation, current students, faculty, and administrators will help you with the following: - Register for classes–you will meet with an advisor, discuss Loyola’s Core Curriculum, discover pathways for different majors, share personal interests, and select Fall courses
- Learn more about the residential community and complete your housing preference forms
- Meet other members of the Loyola Class of 2016, and interact with them in a variety of intellectual and social settings
- Learn about the resources designed to assist you with your transition to college and Loyola
