Next Steps for Admitted Transfers

Next Steps for Admitted Transfers

This past Tuesday night, we welcomed nearly 100 admitted transfer students and their families to the Lake Shore Campus for an opportunity to hear about the “next steps” in the process of enrolling at Loyola this fall.  Conversations were very productive.  I personally enjoyed talking with students, learning about their interests, and helping them address any questions or concerns.

There are a couple of “next step” reminders that I want to offer to all transfer students who have been admitted to Loyola for this fall:

  • If you haven’t already done so, submit your deposit at LUC.edu/deposit.  Many times students ask when they will have a chance to register for classes or find out about orientation. You can’t do either of those things until you let the Undergraduate Admission Office know that you plan on attending Loyola.
  • Be certain to submit any spring or summer official college transcripts to the Undergraduate Admission Office so that all of your credit may be evaluated.  Don’t forget that your final official high school transcript will be needed as well.
  • Once you are a deposited student, you need to register for orientation.  Our orientation program is called Discover Loyola.  Please note the dates available in July and August.  Also, there is a limit on the number of students we can work with at each session, so be sure that you register in a timely fashion for the date you want.  Register today.  Similarly, look over the transfer schedule of events for the day. This is your opportunity to work with an advisor and register for classes, along with many other activities.
  • Complete your housing contract via the Next Stop admitted student portal at LUC.edu/nextstop.  The Department of Residence Life will begin working with transfer placements in June.
  • While in the Next Stop portal, be sure to review your personalized checklist to determine if you need to take any placement tests online and in advance of your Discover Loyola orientation program.

Classes begin on Monday, August 29!  We look forward to having you attend Loyola University Chicago!
