Housing   

The EllP Program does not provide housing. On-campus housing is available to full-time ELLP Program students. For information about housing costs and application procedure, please visit the Department of Residence Life.

Health Insurance   

According to university policy, all full-time students are required to have health insurance during the academic year. If you already have health insurance that will cover you during your time in Chicago, you will need to submit proof. If you do not have adequate health insurance, the university will automatically enroll you and add the charge to your tuition bill. Summer program students do not have to have health insurance. For more information about Loyola's health insurance requirements and cost, please visit Student Health Insurance.

Immunizations   

The State of Illinois requires that students provide the university with evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and diphtheria. Students are asked to safeguard the health of the Loyola community by providing evidence of their immunization or by being immunized. Students without updated immunization records will not be allowed to register. If you received immunizations in your home country, you will need to bring the immunization certificate with you and submit it to the Wellness Center. If you do not have proof of immunizations, you will need to get vaccinated in Chicago. You can get this done at the Wellness Center. More information about immunizations can be found at Wellness Center Immunizations.
