Once you have begun classes at Loyola, all Core Curriculum courses must be taken at Loyola. You can request permission from your major department to take major classes elsewhere, and you can request permission from your academic advisor to take elective courses elsewhere.

For more information, please read Loyola's policy regarding permission to take coursework at other universities. Grades from classes taken elsewhere are not calculated into your Loyola GPA.

The list of courses that count for Core credit can be found on the Core Curriculum Website.

No. A course can fulfill Core requirements for only one knowledge area. For instance, the Philosophy of Religion course may count toward the Philosophical Knowledge area or the Theological & Religious Studies Knowledge area, but not both areas. The exception to this rule is ethics. For example, a student may fulfill the requirements for the Philosophical Knowledge area and for the ethics area with one course.

However, a single course may fulfill the requirements for a Core Curriculum Knowledge area and a Core Curriculum Values area.

For more information about the Core Curriculum, visit www.luc.edu/core.

Students are generally advised to register for no more than 18 credit hours per semester. To take more than 18 credit hours, a student must request permission. Permission forms are available at the Sullivan Hub.

Stop by the Sullivan Hub for the form. You will need a signature from the department of the major you're declaring. If you are changing your major, you will also need a signature from the department you're leaving.  Return forms to the Hub or to Sullivan Center, Suite 260,when completed.                                                                                                                                           If you're changing majors from different schools (e.g., from the College of Arts & Sciences to the School of Business Administration), you will need to complete an internal transfer form. Forms are available at the Sullivan Hub or online and are turned in to the school to which you are transferring.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          If you are declaring two majors in two different schools you will need to fill out a multiple degree form and turn the form in to the school that houses the major you want to add.

 

 

 

Ask your academic advisor to give you a copy of the requirements for all majors and minors. Some academic departments have curriculum requirements on their Web pages, as well.

It depends on the majors. A four-year plan is recommended for students with interests in more than one major and in studying abroad. See your academic advisor early in your college career for assistance.

Yes, depending on the strength of your interest and on the flexibility of your course schedule. See your academic advisor early in your college career for assistance.

The exam is a graduation requirement for students in the College of Arts & Sciences. For that reason, we recommend taking the exam before your junior year. If you do not pass the exam at that time, you will still have time to take two semesters of a foreign language before your scheduled graduation date. Contact the College of Arts & Sciences for more information about the exam.

Yes. A score of 4 or 5 on the Composition/Language AP test will give you credit for UCWR 110.

If you drop a class after the first week of school and before the 10th week, you'll get a grade of "W" for the class. This grade stands for "Withdrew" and does not affect your GPA, so it is generally better than a "D" or an "F." If you drop the class after the 10th week, however, you will get a "WF," which counts in your GPA just like an "F." You should discuss dropping a course with your academic advisor.

Students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation for one semester. At the end of that semester, the student's cumulative GPA must be raised to 2.0, or he or she may be dismissed from the university.

You will need to complete an exit interview with your academic advisor.  You may contact them by clicking their name in your "Advisor" box in your LOCUS "Student Center."

We cannot, but the HUB can.  Please ask the HUB to verify this information for you.
