Dear Loras Student,
Welcome to the academic year at Loras College! As you enter into or are returning to your college experience, the Loras College Student Handbook is a resource to assist you as you navigate your student experience. Some items you will find of interest are the Code of Conduct, Policies and Procedures, Community Living, and Campus Groups and Organizations information.
When joining any community, there are expectations which are expressed and implied. Loras College is no different. We are a Catholic, liberal arts institution of higher education that takes seriously the total development of our students. You will have many opportunities to be engaged both inside and outside the classroom. As our dispositions express, you will be an active learner, a reflective thinker, an ethical decision-maker, and a responsible contributor as you make your experience while attending Loras. This not only applies to your academic experience but also to your co-curricular involvements.
Knowing we all enjoy and expect certain rights in order to live, we also must keep in mind the responsibility to uphold our rights and the rights of others. The decisions you make, whether it be determining a major, joining one organization over another, developing healthy relationships, or simply attending an event-all come with rights and responsibilities. Not all of your decisions will be easy or good ones. We hope and expect that while reflecting on your decisions, the learning that takes place will provide a foundation that will serve you long after your time at Loras College.
On behalf of the Loras community, I wish you great success throughout your Loras College experience.
Many blessings,
Arthur Sunleaf
Vice President for Student Development & Dean of Students
