New Student Advising/Orientation
 
LSU has two major functions for advising incoming freshmen:
  • Spring Testing, which is by invitation only, and
  • Summer Orientation, which consists of one of several 2-day sessions throughout the summer.

Both functions follow a similar format. On the first day, students take placement tests in subjects such as Math, Physics, and foreign languages. Students also receive information on various campus activities. On the second day, students receive their test scores, meet with a counselor or academic advisor, and schedule courses for the summer and/or fall semester.

LSU holds orientation sessions for Transfer Students the week before classes start each semester and one session during the summer for students transferring in the fall. The orientation starts with a general welcoming, after which students meet with counselors, have their completed course work evaluated for degree credit, and schedule courses for the upcoming semester.

If you have any questions regarding these functions, please contact The Office of Orientations at (225) 578-2634.
