A prospective student-athlete may visit an institution's campus at his or her own expense an unlimited number of times. Unofficial visits may begin prior to his or her senior year in high school.
Location Restriction - While in the presence of coaches, prospects must remain on- campus during an unofficial visit. A prospect may interact off-campus with currently enrolled student-athletes as long as the off-campus interaction is not at the direction of the coaching staff.
Lodging -- Prospects on an unofficial visit may stay in an enrolled student-athlete's dorm room on an unofficial visit.
Meals -- A prospect must pay the actual cost for any meals he or she eats on an unofficial visit.
Complimentary Admissions -- A prospect may be provided up to three complimentary admissions to a home athletics event on an unofficial visit. Admissions must be administered through a pass list. Loyola may provide up to two additional complimentary admissions for the prospect's parents, should a non-traditional family structure (divorce, separation) exist. Loyola may not reserve additional tickets to be purchased by the prospect or those accompanying the prospect on an unofficial visit.
Activities During Visit
During both official and unofficial visits, prospects should be introduced to typical campus life and should not include any type of entertainment excessive in nature (helicopter, limo). During a campus visit, the following are impermissible:
• Personalized recruiting aids such as audio or video scoreboard presentations or gameday simulations.
• Any arranged activity revealing, demonstrating or displaying a PSA's athletics ability in any sport (tryout or practice session).
• Receipt of free or reduced price gear.
• Access to an automobile for use by a prospect.
During both official and unofficial visits it is permissible for Loyola, through its regular team or other designated physician, to conduct a medical examination to determine a prospect's medical qualifications to participate in intercollegiate athletics. During the examination no athletics department staff member other than the athletics trainer may be present and the examination cannot include any test or procedure designed to measure the athletics ability or skill of the PSA.
