Student Success Team
At LSU, no student wins alone. Every incoming freshmen is assigned a team of six personnel across different areas of campus with their success in mind: academic advisor, learning specialist, financial aid counselor, career coach, wellness coach, peer mentor. Upon entry into their senior college, the student’s success team may change based on their academic program. Students can view their success team on the Navigate app and schedule appointments as needed.
To view your academic advisor, incoming freshman must log into Navigate360. There, students will have access to the contact information of their academic advisors as well as access to schedule an academic advising appointment.
Transfer students and students admitted into their senior colleges may have an assigned advisor within their college and can also schedule appointments with their academic advisor via Navigate360.
Freshmen and select upperclassmen are assigned a learning specialists from the Center for Academic Success.
Learning specialists help with study strategies, learning strategies, time management skills, class preparation, test taking strategies, goal setting, note taking and academic stress management.
