HOUSING REFERENCE SERVICE

The Housing Reference Service is a listing of housing units known as the Apartment Gazette. These listings consist of apartment rentals (studio, one, two and three bedrooms, etc.), rooms to rent, and houses to rent (or share) in nearby communities. Property owners make these units available to Loyola students, faculty and staff.

The Apartment Gazette is published in two forms. The printed version is available in the Office of Campus Life (708-216-3651) located in the SSOM. It is updated and reprinted every Monday throughout the year with a greater number of listings available during the months of June through August. The other version is on-line and is updated every day. The on-line version can be reached by going to: www.meddean.luc.edu and clicking on the Student Resources section, and then on the Apartment Gazette. You will be able to choose selected listings by indicating preferred housing requirements (such as by community, price range, or number of bedrooms). You may also select the "All Listings" button for a complete list of every unit being offered.

Loyola University Chicago does not own or operate any of the listing in the Apartment Gazette. Loyola has not inspected the listed properties and assumes no responsibility for their condition, or for the landlord/tenant relationship.

OMBUDSPERSON

The Ombudsperson facilitates understanding, communication, and conflict resolution among the various constituents of the Loyola University Health System. This includes assisting students, faculty, or staff members in the resolutions of problems which have not been or are not being addressed through usual channels. Although the Ombudsperson does not make decisions on the merits of any matter presented, he may make recommendations to any department and is responsible directly to the President and CEO of the Loyola University Health System, the Loyola University Medical Center, and Senior Vice President of the Health Sciences. All consultations are confidential except as the client may wish otherwise. Meetings can be scheduled at any time of the week.

For more information on this service, call the Ombudsperson Office at 708-216-5228.

PARKING INFORMATION

At the beginning of each academic year students are given the opportunity to purchase a key card which allows access to designated parking lots.

Students are currently assigned to Lot 11 on the south end of campus. The parking fee is $250 per year (subject to change). Due to the great parking demand on campus, the key card entitles students to access the lot but does not guarantee a parking space. Therefore, the later in the day one parks, the more difficult it is to find a space.

For convenient evening and weekend use of the Medical School, medical students who have purchase a key card to Lot 11 are also allowed access to Lot 8, at no additional charge, after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends and Medical Center recognized holidays. Third and fourth year medical students who have purchased a Lot 11 key card can also access Lot 2, at no additional charge, after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends and Medical Center recognized holidays. The "student" reader to Lots 2 and 8 do not allow access between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Student vehicles must be out of Lots 2 and 8 by 3:00 a.m. on weekdays.

Key cards may be purchased from the Parking Office, located on the first floor of the Administration Building (phone 708-216-9092, hours 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.). You must present a valid Loyola I.D., and the make, year, color, and license plate number of the vehicle. The fee must be paid for by cash, check or credit card.

All medical students, regardless of their year, leaving for summer break or for off-campus clinical rotations, may receive a prorated refund ONLY if their key card is surrendered PRIOR to leaving. The key card can be reacquired when they return. Refund requests cannot be honored when the student returns to campus.

Due to the parking needs of Medical Center patients and visitors, students and staff are expected to follow all parking rules and regulations and are prohibited from parking in the patient and visitor lots.

SECURITY AND SAFETY SERVICES

Security and Safety (708-216-9077) is available to assist students with concerns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One way that Security assists the students is through the vehicle escort service. Students may request an escort to their vehicle on weekdays after 6:00 p.m. and anytime on weekends, by calling ext. 69077. This escort must be to a vehicle located on Loyola property, and does not extend to the Cook County Forest Preserve. The escort could be a "reverse escort" as well, in that a student may request a Security escort from your car to the hospital or school, if you are arriving here early in the morning, before the shuttle begins service. To request the reverse escort, press the call button on the emergency phone when pulling into the lot, and ask the dispatcher for an escort.

Free shuttle service is available around campus from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (holidays excluded). The response time for escort calls could vary depending upon the availability of the officer involved due to other commitments such as traffic control, patient assistance, cashier escorts, and shift change.

Students who find that they have a flat tire, dead battery, or have locked their keys in the vehicle can obtain assistance from the Department of Environmental Services 24 hours a day. Assistance can be obtained by calling the Security dispatcher at 69077 or by using one of the emergency phones located at parking lot entrance gate.

TO CALL FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FROM A STANDARD HOUSE PHONE DIAL 911. Injured or ill students in need of transportation to the emergency department may request transport by calling 69077.

Emergency telephones are located in each elevator, the building corridors, in parking lots and along the streets. Emergency phones are identified by a red box with the word "EMERGENCY" and the telephone symbol located on the box. To use the phone, simply open the box and/or just press the button -- the Security and Safety Dispatcher will respond. The button you press will automatically provide the dispatcher with your location.

Photo Identification is to be worn in a visible manner at all times while on campus. Photo i.d.'s are required to gain access through Medical Center entrances and use of the library. Photo i.d.'s may be obtained in the Parking Office, first floor, Building 201 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.

To help prevent theft and assist in the recovery and return of stolen property to the owner, the office of Security and Safety will provide engraving tools to mark personal property (such as a microscope). Security and Safety asks that students not leave personal property unattended.

Students with questions or concerns related to laboratory safety, the handling of chemicals and other hazardous substances may obtain assistance by calling the Safety Section of Environmental Services at ext. 69079 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
