Note: There have been no findings of responsibility for hazing-related allegations at LSU New Orleans in the past seven years. Any reports received have either been unsubstantiated, resolved informally, or found not to meet the legal or university definitions of hazing.

Required Hazing Prevention Education

To participate in a recognized student organization at LSU New Orleans, all students must complete at least two hours of hazing prevention education each academic year, in compliance with Louisiana Act 382.

Students may meet this requirement through a combination of approved hazing prevention education opportunities, including:

• Completing the LSU New Orleans Hazing Prevention Course in Canvas (1 hr)
• Completing hazing prevention reflection activities in Privateer Passage/Suitable (1 hr)
  OR
• Participating in approved in-person hazing prevention trainings offered during student orientation and throughout the academic year

The Office of Student Involvement & Leadership will share information about available in-person training opportunities throughout the year. For questions about hazing prevention education or your completion status, please contact [email protected].

Privateer Passage Badge Requirement

All students must earn the Hazing Prevention Certified badge in Privateer Passage each year to maintain eligibility for student organization involvement. The badge reflects completion of the required hazing prevention education and supports a culture of accountability, care, and shared responsibility.

Why it Matters

Privateers don’t haze—we lift each other up. Hazing prevention education gives you the knowledge and tools to recognize concerning behavior, take action, support others, and help build a campus community where every student belongs.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the required hazing prevention education, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate a commitment to community care and respect.
• Identify behaviors that may constitute hazing.
• Know how to report concerns and access campus resources.
