Applicants must re-apply for admission each term and must have earned a C or better in coursework to be eligible to re-apply for a future term. Academically challenging college-level courses are available during the fall, spring, and summer terms.

Details of the program

This is not an early admission program, but instead concurrent enrollment in college-level courses. Students will enroll in one semester of courses and must apply for admission each semester thereafter. Once reaching the second semester of their senior year, students must apply for full-degree admission to Loyola to continue courses in the following term.
