Undergraduate (day) students in the Colleges of Humanities & Natural Science, Social Science, Music & Fine Arts and the College of Business are given priority to register based on their future classification. For example, if you are currently a junior and the hours for which you are currently registered will make you a senior next semester, your classification for early registration will be senior. Therefore, you register on the dates that are scheduled for seniors.
During registration, you will not be allowed to register if you have a health hold. You should contact the Student Health office for further information. Students with a financial block will NOT be allowed to register until they have substantially satisfied their financial obligations to the university. Promissory notes are no longer an option.

Advising begins on Tuesday, April 2nd. Schedule an appointment with your advisor as soon as possible. Your advisor may activate your registration access code so you will be able to access Loyola Online Records Access (LORA) or your advisor may register you on-line on your appropriate day. If you cannot locate your advisor, contact your department chairperson (HN & SS) or your associate dean (other colleges). Law and Evening students, and non-degree seeking students are not required to meet with an advisor and your access will be automatically activated and you may register through LORA at your appropriate time.
You may register from any personal computer with web access. Follow the LORA directions to register for your courses. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Student Records at (504) 865-3237 during normal business hours - Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. or email sturec@loyno.edu.
If desired, students with disabilities who notify the Office of Student Records will be assisted in their registration by a staff member.
The course availability is found on Loyola Online Records Access (LORA):
NOTE: First time users are required to change their PIN numbers. For security reasons, you must change your pin to a 6-digit number that is only known by you. You must make this change on your initial sign-in.
To determine your eligibility and classification, please read the following instructions:
Forgot your PIN Number?
If you have forgotten your pin, you may submit your request to reset your pin from the LORA web site. Once you enter the wrong pin, a link will appear that will give you the option to reset your pin to the original setting - the default PIN is the first 2 letters of your first name and the last 4 numbers of your social security number.
After priority registration, registration will be open for all eligible students through the last day to register for the Summer session or Fall semester.
If a course is closed you may be allowed to register with a New Seat Card. Obtain a New Seat Card from the Office of Student Records or from your Dean’s Office. The appropriate signatures must be obtained. Bring the form and the student copy of your signed Course Request Form with you to the Office of Student Records or your Dean’s Office (Law students only) on or before the last day of late registration. NOTE: New seat cards will not be accepted until the first day of class.
To register for courses for which the instructor’s permission is needed, you must obtain an Instructor Authorization Card from the Office of Student Records or from your Dean’s Office. The appropriate signatures must be obtained and bring the card and the student copy of your signed Course Request Form with you to the Office of Student Records (HN, MA, SS students only) or your Dean’s Office (BU & Law students only) on or before the last day of late registration.
Most course sections in the schedule have been created with a wait list option. If you request such a section and the section is closed, you have the option of being placed on a wait list. You are placed on the wait list in the order of your request. If a seat becomes available and you are next on the list, you will be added to the course. Note: If a course becomes available and you have added another course at the same time, your wait listed course will take precedent over the course it is conflicting with and that course will be dropped. Also, you cannot wait list for one section of a course and be registered in a different section nor can you wait list for multiple sections of the same course.
Financial Hold - Students with a financial block will NOT be allowed to register until they have substantially satisfied their financial obligations to the university. Promissory notes are no longer an option.
Health Hold – If you have not submitted your state required immunization forms to Student Health, you will not be allowed to register.
View and update address - You may update your current mailing address. Please note that you should not change your local dorm address. Please report that change to the Residential Life Office. If we do not have a local address on file, you must submit one prior to gaining access to LORA.
