Welcome, Future Privateer!
Welcome to LSU New Orleans! Whether you have been admitted or are looking ahead to prepare for your transition. Orientation & Transition Programs are here to help!
Have you been admitted? Congratulations!
Congratulations on being admitted to LSU New Orleans! To get started, you will need to complete the Accepted Student Checklist and participate in New Student Experience. Doing this will help ensure you have a smooth transition to LSU New Orleans!
The Accepted Student Check-List are steps each student needs to take to prepare for their first semester. Some of these include setting up username & password, submitting forms, and more.
New Student Experience is a three-step orientation program for admitted students. NSE helps you register for classes, learn about LSU New Orleans, and acclimate to campus!
First-Year Course Placement:
All freshmen students admitted with a high school cumulative GPA below 3.0 without test scores will need to submit a test score or take an Accuplacer test BEFORE the registration day (check your admit letter or online admissions portal for clarification). Please read the policy fully here* for important instructions to complete before meeting with your Advisor.
New Student Orientation Fee:
The new student orientation fee is a one-time fee of $175 assessed to the fee bill of all new first-year and transfer students. This fee supports the cost associated with new student transition events.
