GUIDE FOR NEW TIGER FAMILIES
WELCOME TO THE LSU FAMILY Someone you love is a Tiger now, which makes you part of the Tiger family too! Just like you, we will be there to support your student, whose intellect will grow in remarkable ways at LSU, as well as support him or her through any challenges along the way. During Orientation, you will receive a great deal of information about resources that will be valuable throughout your student’s time here. This will be his or her home away from home—and we hope you’ll be involved in our resources for families too. Should you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone at 225-578-1173 or email at lsufamily@lsu.edu.

WELCOME FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT YOUR TIGER IS NO. 1 At LSU, our talented faculty and staff members are devoted to the well-being and success of every student in our Tiger family. Providing a comprehensive support system for our students—with special attention on those who are entering their first year—is a top priority. From academics and finances to health care and career development, we strive to ensure our students have all the resources they need to achieve everything they set out to accomplish at LSU.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Transitioning from high school to the rigor of college can be challenging for any student. College
academics differ from high school academics in several important ways.
• College academics go beyond basic memorization to applying, analyzing, and evaluating many new concepts and processes in
a much briefer time frame. Students must learn how to study to get to these higher levels.
• Class lectures may highlight subject concepts, but students are expected to spend a considerable amount of time outside
of class studying additional sources (textbooks, etc.) and assessing their own level of material mastery. Time management
becomes crucial for students’ success.
• Class testing tends to be more high stakes—there may be only two or three grading opportunities during the semester, and each
test is far apart. Students must learn new strategies on how to move information to long-term memory.
Below are a few resources to assist your student with the transition from high school to
college:

The cost of study abroad programs vary, and TOPS and other types of financial aid usually apply.
Helpful tip: Students’ sophomore and junior years of college are the ideal times for studying abroad. This is because they need 30
hours (approximately one year) of LSU credit to be eligible to study abroad and, in most cases, must spend their last 30 hours on

If you need to cancel your housing registration after submitting it, the advance rent is refundable based on when you cancel your
housing application. Cancellations are only accepted at lsu.edu/cancelhousing.
