 Welcome to Loyola. Welcome home.

To further protect our community and help ensure a healthy and safe start to the semester, Loyola University Chicago requires all students, staff and faculty to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations, including a booster. 

All students must have their vaccination records, including booster information, uploaded and approved on the Loyola Health website prior to their arrival on campus. Click here to upload your records today. If a student's vaccination status is not approved at the time of their arrival for Move-In, they will not be permitted to check in. 

Students and any guests coming to campus during move-in are encouraged to test prior traveling and/or arriving on campus and, while not required, students and guests are encouraged to wear a mask as social distancing may be difficult during the move-in process.

Please refer to the Return to Campus website here for the most updated information regarding vaccination, testing, and mask guidelines.

You can find detailed information about what is permitted to move into the halls, as well as what decorations are permitted, etc. at our Room Care and Facility Policies Page.

You may be starting to get your materials for moving in to Loyola. Make sure you consider sustainability and your impact when you make that shopping trip and pack your bags. Try these tips for a “Green Move In”:

1. Bring good quality, reusable products – A reusable water bottle, a good backpack and a basic set of 2 plates and a reusable cutlery set.

2. Don’t pack for the one-off, as these materials will just take up space and may end up in the trash. If it is too dainty, specialized or random, don’t bring it.

3. For those things that are fragile, consider protecting them with your clothes or bedding. Don’t bring a lot of unnecessary packaging like bubble wrap, or worse yet, foam peanuts, these just end up in the landfill.

4. Think about packing in reusable containers such as bedding bags or storage containers.

5. If you do use cardboard boxes to bring your things, make sure to break them down and recycle them in appropriate locations.

6. We’re trying to reduce our unnecessary paper use so plan ahead and print only what is necessary.

7. Consider bringing your bike or look into ChainLinks for a year-long or semester-long bike rental. Get up to speed on the public transit and learn about your UPass and all the places that CTA can take you. https://www.luc.edu/campustransportation/generalinformation/alternativetransportation/

8. Try to limit the electrical equipment you plan to bring as this all uses energy. When shopping, buy a Smart Power Strip that automatically powers down unused equipment.

9. Talk to your roommate (s) about what items they’re bringing and share what you can. Game systems, speakers, hair dryers and other items may not be needed if your roommate is already bringing it.

10. Don’t bring single-use products like paper towels, paper plates or plastic cutlery. Hand towels, dish towels and a drying rack can reduce waste and save money.
