Stritch School of Medicine - Elective Course Catalog

Introduction

Visiting Student Registration Procedure

Students who meet the visiting student criteria can download an APPLICATION FOR VISITING STUDENT ELECTIVE CLERKSHIP and the required IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION FORM from the Office of Registration and Records website. Before completing this form, the student should contact the department responsible for the elective at Loyola to determine if there are any special requirements to be fulfilled in addition to those listed in the catalog. (Some departments require an interview, references, or other information before taking final action on the application.)
The completed application along with the completed Immunization Information Form with the necessary signatures must both be forwarded to the Office of Registration and Records at Loyola-Stritch, (NOT to the elective supervisor or department), no later than six weeks prior to the start of the elective rotation. Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to delay in starting the rotation. Visiting students desiring to take an elective here will be accommodated only if they have been approved by our Student Health Office as having the required proof of immunizations and an elective application has been processed first through the Office of Registration and Records. Acceptance by a department or supervisor does not constitute approval for a visiting student elective.
A copy of the application specifying whether the elective has been approved or not will be sent to the student and to his/her Dean along with any other pertinent information (Section III of the application form).
Prior to beginning their rotation at Loyola-Stritch, visiting students should contact the education coordinator of their elective department for instructions on where to report on the first day of their rotation. On the first day of the elective the visiting student will need to obtain a visiting student I.D. badge at the Department of Parking (Mulcahey Center, East Entrance). This badge will permit entrance to the campus and patient care areas and use of the medical library. Only students properly registered according to the above procedure will be eligible for issuance of an I.D.
Visiting students should be aware that Loyola-Stritch students have priority in registering for electives and should check for the earliest allowed visiting student registration date on the VISITING STUDENT TIMETABLE FOR ELECTIVE REGISTRATION. Visiting student registration will not be processed for a minimum of four weeks after the opening sign-up date for Loyola-Stritch students (approximately 12-14 weeks in advance of the beginning date for the elective).
