Monitoring Cristobal

Loyola New Orleans is closely monitoring Cristobal, which is currently predicted to produce significant rainfall in the New Orleans area on Sunday and Monday. See the hurricane preparedness resources below to get ready for this and any future tropical weather systems.

We are continuing online operations through the summer to prepare for reopening safely for the fall semester. Visit our Coronavirus FAQ website for more information.

Moving to online instruction

In consultation with state and city government, we are going to move to online instruction beginning Monday, March 16th, for the rest of the spring semester. In the last few days, it has become clear that there now exists community spread of COVID-19 in New Orleans. We will cancel classes on Thursday, March 12, and Friday, March 13, to give faculty time to finalize their preparations, and to give students time to pack and move out if they plan to leave. Faculty will begin teaching online on Monday. Learn more

Monitoring Tropical Weather

Loyola is monitoring a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico with our weather partners. The system may strengthen into a tropical depression or storm, and the projected track shows that it will move south of Louisiana's coast on Friday to make landfall in Florida on Saturday. We are closely monitoring any potential impacts to the New Orleans area but do not anticipate any interruption of our normal operations at this time.
