Departments
The departments within Student Academic Services (SAS) provide students with opportunities for learning, growth, and reflection. We aim to help students learn about themselves and fundamentally evolve in the way they perceive, think, and act in our global society, becoming driven toward action that leads to more just communities. SAS is composed of the following departments and programs:
First and Second Year Advising
First and Second Year Advising serves the academic advising and support needs of undergraduate students at Loyola through the first two years of their college experience. We provide students with academic advising services and referrals to our university partners that contribute to a successful transition from high school to college and to our students’ holistic development.
Scholars Programs
Academic Enrichment Programs: In partnership with our students, the Academic Enrichment Programs team will focus on persistence, scholarship retention, and academic success. As students navigate their transition and continuum experiences, our goal is to provide tailored advising, wraparound support, and attainment-based programming. These programs include: Arrupe Continuing Scholars, Cristo Rey Scholars, Greer Scholars, Hope Chicago Scholars, and Senn (Prasse) Scholars.
Achieving College Excellence (ACE): ACE (TRIO Student Support Services) is devoted to engaging motivated students who are first-generation college students, who have high financial need, and/or who have a documented disability as they discern meaning and find direction in their academic, personal, social, spiritual, and professional journeys.
Leadership Scholars Program (LSP): The mission of the Leadership Scholars Program aims to maximize the leadership potential of a select and diverse group of Loyola University Chicago students through academic achievement, diversity and inclusion, health and wellness, meaningful opportunities for engagement, and career and personal fulfillment.
Student Accessibility Center
The SAC’s mission is to uphold the university's commitment to legal (ADA) compliance and educational integrity through an interactive process by: collaborating with faculty, staff, and campus partners; facilitating reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities; and acting as a resource to make the university more accessible for Loyola community members.
Student-Athlete Academic Services
Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) exists to provide premier academic and personal development resources to all student-athletes pursuing higher education and competing in collegiate athletics. We intend to empower, support, and mobilize future world leaders while cultivating self-sufficient student-athletes.
Student Transitions and Academic Partnerships
New Student Programs (NSP): New Student Programs aims to create a seamless and integrated first-year experience that serves all students, but also tailors the experience to meet individual student and family needs.
Tutoring Center: The Tutoring Center embodies the mission of Loyola University Chicago by providing academic services and resources which foster development of skills and attitudes necessary to increase the knowledge and academic independence of all students. Through multiple learning services, the Tutoring Center helps to contribute towards student success and growth efforts that are made by Loyola University Chicago.
