Loyola University New Orleans is open and under normal operations. All classes, activities, and services are on schedule. We continue to monitor Hurricane Rafael. While its track remains somewhat uncertain, no hurricane-force impacts are forecast for the New Orleans area. The system is expected to weaken as it moves through the Gulf, though it may bring heavy rain and possible street flooding to our area on Sunday. We will continue to monitor the storm closely through the weekend. Based on current forecasts, we do not anticipate any changes to class schedules or campus operations.

We are closely monitoring Hurricane Rafael as it develops and enters the Gulf of Mexico. The storm’s exact track remains uncertain at this time, but it is likely to weaken significantly as it moves into the northern Gulf with landfall projected for Sunday or Monday. We anticipate minimal impact on our campus and do not foresee significant changes to class schedules or campus operations. We expect to have more detailed information within the next 24-36 hours and will share updates on any university plans or preparations as more details become available.

The university is currently operating under a normal business schedule.

We are in the final stages of preparing to reopen the campus to the entire Loyola community. With a few exceptions due to ongoing remediation work, we expect to resume regular, in-person operations on Monday, September 16. While our grounds are clear and most student-facing buildings are set to begin reopening tomorrow, we want to remind everyone that academic and administrative buildings on the main campus will remain closed to all except essential personnel until Monday. Card access is disabled for these buildings, and only essential personnel will be granted entry.

Power was restored to Loyola's campus at 8:30 p.m. CT yesterday evening, and much of the New Orleans metro area is also regaining electricity according to Entergy's outage maps. With electricity restored, Loyola will transition to remote operations today, and Friday classes will be conducted online. We understand that many people are still without power and dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Francine. We encourage faculty and supervisors to grant flexibility to those faculty, staff, and students still experiencing hardships due to storm damage.
