Resources for Parents and Families
Parents and family members play an important role in our community at Loyola University New Orleans—you're part of the Wolf Pack, too! We want to make sure you have the information and resources you need to support your student.
Parents of the Pack is a monthly email newsletter featuring a roundup of the most important information and updates from across the university. We share timely information about tutoring and career resources, ways your student can get involved, and anything else you need to help your student be successful.
Parents of Pack is a resource for anyone who provides an essential support system for Loyola students—parents, other family members, guardians, and more. Any other members of your household who wish to be added to this mailing list can subscribe here. If you have any questions, please reach out to families@shandongzhongyu.com.

2025–26 FAFSA Form Now Available
The U.S. Department of Education announced that the 2025–26 FAFSA® Form is now available to all students and their contributors. We recommend that all Loyola students fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible in order to receive the maximum financial support available for their education.
Make sure your student is prepared to complete the FAFSA:
- Create a StudentAid.gov account (if they don’t already have one)
- Learn about the documents they may need to fill out the FAFSA form.
- Determine their dependency status and whether their parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information on their FAFSA form.
- If they're a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be a required contributor on the form.
For individual questions or support, please contact Loyola's Office of Financial Aid by calling 504-865-3231, emailing finaid@shandongzhongyu.com, or scheduling an appointment online.
Need access to your student’s information?
In keeping with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a parent or guardian must be explicitly authorized by their student to receive access to information such as:
- Educational records
- Registration status
- Class schedule
- Room and board
- Financial aid
- Billing information
There are a few different ways your student can give you access. Learn more in the links below.
