We want victims of hazing, or anyone who knows or suspects someone who’s a victim of hazing, to feel empowered to report incidents within the university community. You will never suffer university consequences for filing a report about hazing or suspected hazing. LSU prohibits hazing, in any form, of any member of the university community.
Alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct by a registered student organization should be reported here.
We are committed to helping students through pregnancy and parenting and can help with making a plan for the semester, contacting faculty for various reasons, connecting students to pregnancy and parenting resources, and developing a strong support system on campus. LSU students seeking assistance with any pregnancy and parenting-related matters can submit their needs here.
Students or others may report a general or academic-related grievance, such as unauthorized exam scheduling or delays in receiving grades, ensuring that your concerns are heard and addressed.
