Levels of Membership
Student Support Services recognizes two levels of membership designed to support students throughout their undergraduate experience at LSU. All students begin as Provisional Members, where they complete program requirements and actively engage with Student Support Services during their first semester. Upon successfully meeting these requirements, students transition to Full Membership and continue receiving SSS services throughout their undergraduate career at LSU.
The membership process encourages students to become actively involved in the program while building a strong foundation for continued engagement, academic success, and participation in Student Support Services.

If provisional requirements are not met, students may submit an appeal for review. If no appeal is submitted or approved, SSS membership will end and students will no longer receive program services.
Full Membership
Students who successfully complete the requirements of Provisional Membership will transition to Full Membership and continue receiving Student Support Services throughout their undergraduate career at LSU.
As Full Members, students remain eligible to participate in SSS programs, services, and opportunities while continuing to engage with the program throughout their time at LSU.
