As the spring semester kicks off, check out Loyola’s academic resources and campus amenities designed to help you stay on track, feel your best, and start the semester off strong.
Use advising resources
Make sure your schedule is on track with your academic plan. All first- and second-year students are assigned to FSYA advisors. Students can access express advising for quick questions. Additional express advising hours will be available this week as Ramblers settle in and finalize class schedules.
Juniors and seniors have specific advisors through their college or school. Students can find their academic advisors in LOCUS under “Academic Progress” and can book appointments through Navigate.
Check out campus health and wellness amenities
Make the most of your time at Loyola by utilizing everything campus has to offer. Halas Recreation Center is home to a multipurpose gym while the Wellness Center provides medical and mental health resources to students. Ramblers can also check out the WTC Fitness Studio, memberships at the Loyola Center for Fitness by HSC, Halas’ pool and rock wall, or get involved with intramural sports and GFIT classes.
Take advantage of academic resources
Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction sessions will resume on January 20. See the schedule to find a peer leader for your classes. Students can also schedule an in-person or online appointment with the Writing Center to receive feedback on papers and build skills as a writer.
