Loyola Orientation 2026

Loyola University Chicago Orientation (LUCO) is the first step towards starting your college experience at Loyola. To ensure you have the best transition experience, the Office of New Student Programs provides distinct programs for First-year students and Transfer students. At your LUCO session, you will meet and socialize with your fellow classmates and learn more about the academic and co-curricular offerings available to you during and beyond your first year on campus.
