Registering for Classes
Loyola Chicago Students
Login to LOCUS and register for JFRC classes as you normally would at Loyola Chicago. Your registration time will be as scheduled.
All Rome sections begin with the prefix "A--" so that is one clue to tell you that you are registering for the correct section. Check the LOCUS list for the classes. Note that there are "enrollment sections" as well as "non-enrollment: sections. These latter are cross-listings and, as such, you cannot enroll in them directly; always look for the "enroll" section of a course.
If you have logged into LOCUS and are attempting to register at your appointed time but you encounter difficulties, then call the HelpDesk at (773) 508-4487. To learn your registration time, simply log onto LOCUS and view your Student Center; in the box labeled "Enrollment Dates," you should see a memo telling you the date you are eligible to enroll. If you click onto "details," you will find the time at which you are eligible to begin registering. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REGISTER BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED TIME and DAY; you will not be able to do so.

IMPORTANT:
When your Loyola UVID and password are created, you are also assigned a Loyola e-mail address " .......@luc.edu " All official communications from Loyola University Chicago will be sent to this Loyola e-mail address, including your electronic billing statement. Be sure that you check your Loyola e-mail address regularly and link it to your commonly-used e-mail address. If you are paying Loyola directly for your Rome charges, they will be posted on your accounts in mid-December. All charges will be due no later than January 5, 2012. If Loyola is billing your institution for your charges, then you must pay your home institution and not Loyola.
For those of you paying Loyola directly, you will only be e-billed for your charges; no paper statements will be mailed to your home address. Consequently it is your responsibility to inform your parents of due dates and other deadlines as they will have no other way of knowing.
