Important Reminders for Continuing Students Cancelling Registration

Student Aid & Scholarships are not awarded for canceled semesters.
Reapplication to LSU is necessary for next regular semester or summer term.
- To be considered for readmission, students must fill out a re-entry application at lsu.edu/admissions
- Readmission to LSU and for your intended major is not guaranteed.
Students not enrolled for at least two consecutive regular semesters follow the curricular requirements stated in the catalog at the time of readmission. This would result in a change in catalog year and possible degree requirements.
Due to varying residency and senior college academic requirements, students should consult with their college counselor prior to earning credit from other institutions.
Students who receive an “F” in a course must repeat the course within the campuses of the university in order to receive credit and quality points for it.
Students who attempt 30 hours or more at another institution, including withdrawn courses with a grade of “W”, since leaving LSU, must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.50 on all college work attempted. This includes college-level courses (non-remedial) in English and mathematics with a C- or better to be considered for re-entry.
