Honor Board
The Loyola University College of Law Honor Board is an elected body of students who serve in an advisory capacity to the Dean of the College of Law. The Board is charged with investigating alleged Honor Code violations, holding hearings on alleged violations when appropriate, and recommending sanctions to the Dean of the College of Law when it finds that a violation has been committed. The operations and proceedings of the Honor Board are governed by the provisions of the Loyola University College of Law Honor Code.
Attendance and Enrollment Standards
Attendance
ABA Standard 308(a) requires law schools to “adopt, publish, and adhere to sound academic standards, including those for regular class attendance, good standing, academic integrity, graduation, and dismissal.” Pursuant to Standard 308(a) the College of Law requires regular and punctual class attendance. No student will be given credit for work done in any course in which he or she has failed to attend at least 80 percent of the scheduled classes.
Student Wellbeing Resources
Our Jesuit tradition teaches that education occurs in the context of total human development. Our mission is to provide each of you with the resources, support, and guidance necessary to achieve personal and professional success both while at the law school and beyond. We are available to you to address academic, personal, and professional issues you might experience during your law school career. Law school can be stressful. It can also be demanding—not just on you, the student, but also on your friends and family, partners and children.

Housing Assistance & Campus Parking
Help Finding Your New Home
Most Loyola Law students live off campus in any number of nearby apartments, mansions, carriage houses, shotguns, and camelback homes. The College of Law’s campus is nestled in the quintessential Uptown New Orleans neighborhood. You’ll find a mixture of multi-units, mansions, shops, restaurants, and plenty of green space in nearby Audubon Park. The best strategy for securing housing is to visit New Orleans in the summer to get acquainted with the city, with the plan to put down a deposit on an apartment.
