Requirements for Re-Entering Students
Re-entering students who have not enrolled in the University for one or more regular semesters must apply for readmission. Students who have attempted 15 or more semester hours at other accredited colleges or universities since last attending LSU must have a gpa of at least 2.50 on all college work attempted, including a college-level course in English and in mathematics above the remedial level.
Students applying to re-enter the University:
- must submit an application and a complete official transcript from each college or university attended since leaving LSU, regardless of whether credit was earned, desired, or transferable;
- must meet senior college scholastic requirements for re-entry, and
- may be placed on scholastic probation or warning upon re-entry.
Re-entering students who have attempted 60 or more semester hours may be readmitted to the University only if they meet the requirements for admission to their senior college.
Acceptance of Credit from Other Collegiate Institutions
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions evaluates credit from other institutions after the student's complete application and all official transcripts from each college and university attended have been received. Credit earned in regionally accredited colleges and universities is generally accepted; however, courses taken at the lower (1000-2000) level cannot be given upper (3000-4000) level credit.
Credit allowed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for transfer is, in all cases, subject to review by the student's senior college with regard to its applicability toward a particular degree. Questions relating to the evaluation of credit should be referred to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. You may also wish to refer to the articulation matrix on the Board of Regents web site at http://www.regents.state.la.us/Reports/datapub.htm. The matrix shows how courses taught at other LA public colleges and universities will be accepted as transfer credit to LSU. Questions relating to the acceptance of credit toward a degree program and the length of time required for completion of degree requirements should be referred to the appropriate senior college or school.
