You can expect your activation for the Loop no later than two business days after you make your request. In most cases, requests are processed within a business day.

If you request Loop access for consecutive semesters or expect to require mobility accommodations (such as the Loop) in order to transport yourself across campus on an ongoing basis, you are encouraged to apply for the DSP. This will allow you to access the Loop without renewing the service each term. Information about the DSP application process is available at dsp.berkeley.edu.
