In light of the ongoing pandemic, Loyola University New Orleans commits to an attendance policy guided by three overarching principles:

Dear Loyola community,

More than 30 years ago, I arrived in the US as an international student. My dreams were no different than those of many like me--I wanted to be in a country that offered me an opportunity to grow, learn, and become part of something bigger than myself. I can still remember the excitement combined with a bit of trepidation as I embarked upon this journey to get to know the country that I now call home. So, this message I send on behalf of Loyola to the community and especially to our international students is personal. 

Dear International Students,

I am sure that you have been following the recent US federal guidance on international students enrolled in US universities. This guidance specifying which accommodations will be available for F-1 international students taking online classes continues to evolve and we have been following it closely. We also know that you have questions about how these guidelines apply to you and what Loyola is doing to ensure that your educational experience remains what you have come to expect from us—excellent in every respect.

We look forward to welcoming you to campus for the Spring 2021 semester. This is not a typical academic year, but it will be a year that brings us all closer together in our shared values and commitment to our community.

Take Action to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

We look forward to welcoming you to campus! Please take some time to get acquainted with the policies and plans that will help us maintain a safe campus environment. In order to maintain the overall health of the Loyola community, it is mandatory that all students follow the measures outlined in these policies.
