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.

Loyola Will Reopen Monday, July 15
Dear Loyola Community,
I’m happy to tell you that the campus, and the students who stayed on campus, are fine. We will be back to normal operations on Monday. While New Orleans was spared much impact from this storm, our prayers are with all of you who live in the affected areas around us.
I want to thank the members of our community who work tirelessly to respond whenever a crisis threatens: our campus police officers, facilities workers, residence life and student affairs professionals, communications staff and the Sodexo workers who prepare food for our students.
Loyola Is Closed
The university has completed preparations for the rain associated with Tropical Storm Barry that is possible in the next few days. We have cleaned storm drains, sandbagged certain low-lying areas and prepared our generators. We also have ample supplies of food and water for anyone who must remain on campus.
The university’s leadership team continues to meet twice a day for updates from our weather service. As soon as the storm passes, we will let you know the status of the campus.
