Accessing LORA Self-Service
Getting Started
  1. Access the Loyola Self-Service login to Loyola’s SSO Application Portal by going to sso.loyno.edu and log in. Your username for the SSO is everything before the @ symbol of your Loyola email address. The default password is the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name, your birthdate, and then an uppercase LU. (flmmddyyyyLU) For example, if your name is John Edward Smith and your birthday is April 15, 2001, your default password is js04152001LU. For more information, go to https://it.loyno.edu/single-sign-sso.

    Your Loyola Microsoft username is your entire email address. The default password is the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name, your birthdate, and then an uppercase LU. (flmmddyyyyLU) For more information, go to https://it.loyno.edu/your-loyola-microsoft-account.
