LOYNO Families
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@jo-maps.com.

2025–26 FAFSA Form Coming Soon
The 2025–26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form will be available to the public on or before December 1. Here are some steps your student can take now to prepare:
- Create a StudentAid.gov account (if you don’t already have one)
- Learn about the documents you may need to fill out the FAFSA form.
- Determine your dependency status and whether your parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA form.
- If you’re a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be a required contributor on your form.
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.
