Course Registration Advice from Current Loyola Students

A graduate of the class of 2020, Priyanka Agadi created the video below to help new students normalize and cope with the emotions they experience during course registration, and to offer advice from current Loyola students who have gone through the process of course registration. Priyanka majored in communications with a minor in marketing and was an Evergreen Leader for the Office of Student Engagement and a Marketing Intern for Loyola Athletics.

Below you will find important information on course registration, override requests, and withdrawals for each undergraduate term offered at Loyola. 

For more information on dates and deadlines for undergraduate Loyola students, please visit Dates and Deadlines.

Spring 2025 Course Withdrawal

The Spring 2025 withdrawal period begins on January 21, 2025. The deadline for undergraduate students to withdraw from Spring 2025 course(s) with a grade of “W” is Monday, April 14, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. In order to withdraw, students must complete the Change of Registration form with their instructor’s signature and bring it to the Academic Advising and Support Center in Maryland Hall, Room 138 before 5:00 p.m. on April 14, 2025.  During the final two days of the course withdrawal period, AASC may approve a course withdrawal without the signature of the course instructor. 

Student athletes will also need a signature from their athletics advisor, and International Students must consult with Sunanda Bhatia, Director of International Student Services prior to submitting the form. Students are also encouraged to consult with the Office of Financial Aid at 410-617-2576 if they have any questions or concerns about the potential impact of a course withdrawal on their financial aid or scholarship. Most aid and scholarships require students to maintain full-time status (12 credits or more).

Students who wish to speak with an advisor prior to withdrawing may contact AASC at 410-617-5050 or aasc@loyola.edu.
