Follow these steps to get started enrolling in your first semester of courses at Loyola: 

1. Make a list of all incoming transfer credit (AP, IB, or Dual Enrollment) 

• Be sure you have official exam scores sent to ºÚÁÏÃÅor dual enrollment transcripts sent directly from the college or university that hosted your dual enrollment course to Loyola.  

2. Review course recommendations for your first semester below.  

• If you are waiting for transfer credit or a final grade through dual enrollment for a course that would satisfy a major course requirement, you should proceed with registering for the course as a precautionary measure, in case you do not earn a qualifying score or grade. If you end up earning a qualifying score, then you will visit www.luc.edu/schedulechange later to request that class be replaced with something else.  

• If you are waiting for transfer credit or a final grade for a course that would satisfy a Core requirement listed, we recommend you avoid registering for that class this first semester. Since Core classes can be taken in almost any order, we do not recommend registering for the class.  

• Students on pre-professional pathways (such as pre-health) or in various honors programs may be taking alternative courses in their first semester 

3. Make sure you have finalized your math and writing placements 

• Check your to confirm if either placement is required  

• Not all students will require math placements, but students who require calculus track math (Math 100, Math 110, Math 117, Math 118, Math 130, Math 131, or Math 161) will not be able to register for these courses without first establishing their math placement 

4. Log in to LOCUS and enroll, following the recommendations and advisor guidance provided 

• Register for one class at a time – don’t wait to create the perfect schedule in your Shopping Cart! Remember: other students are enrolling as well, and classes will fill up. 

• Be sure to check out the videos showing LOCUS functions as well as our guidelines on tips and tricks for LOCUS searches and common errors 

5. When you’re finished, double-check to be sure you: 

• Registered for 14-17 credits, depending on major recommendations 

• Correctly accounted for classes that may be satisfied by any AP/IB scores or Dual Credit courses you have completed (or might be on the way) 

• Registered for corresponding labs for science courses (like Biology or Chemistry) 

• Registered for a UNIV 101
