Online Consortium for Independent Colleges & Universities
If you are in need of a course that is not offered by Loyola University New Orleans in the spring, you may take a course offered by the Online Consortium for Independent Colleges & Universities (OCICU).
OCICU courses are eight weeks in length with two sessions per semester, including summer. Please note that OCICU courses have different start and ending dates from on-campus Loyola courses. This semester, we are accepting OCICU courses offered by Regis University and Saint Leo University.
Pre-approval is required for all OCICU courses. Please contact Melissa Landry, Admissions Counselor for the Loyola Evening Division, at (504) 865-2157 for pre-approval.
Skills required to succeed in an online course include the following:
- ability to work independently
- high motivation to complete assignments
- comfort with technology
- willingness to participate frequently in online discussions
- good writing skills
