Welcome Class of 2028!

Messina is designed to help all incoming first-year commuter and residential students acclimate quickly and easily to social and academic life at Loyola.

The Messina Preference Survey

All members of the Class of 2028 should complete the Messina Preference Survey. Information about the survey will be sent to your student e-mail account. You can access the survey through this website. Once you are in the survey, you will share some information about your academic interests. You can either choose to select 5-10 Messina course pairings that interest you or you can indicate that you would like the Messina office to select an appropriate course pairing based on your academic interests.

Themes and Course Pairings for the 2024-25 academic year available for review!

The Messina Preference Survey is now closed. All students will receive an e-mail to their student e-mail account in early July which will notify you of your course pairing. At this time students will also receive information regarding how to set up a virtual one-on-one appointment with your Messina Advisor to review and complete your fall class schedule, and make any necessary changes. 

All students who completed the survey by Friday, May 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. will have an equal chance of receiving a preferred Messina course pairing.

• Students submitting preferences after May 31 will be placed in a preference (if possible) based on date and time of submission.
• Students who were unable to complete the survey will be placed in a Messina pairing that complements their academic interests that were indicated on their Loyola application.
