Undergraduate Admissions

The LSU College of the Coast & Environment admits students to undergraduate degree programs each semester and summer term. Consistent with university guidelines, a continuing student can apply for admission to a college during a period when no coursework is in progress.  This period basically runs from the day final grades are posted for a given semester until the last day to add courses for the next semester or term.  Students interested in admission to the College of the Coast & Environment are encouraged to call the college office at 225-578-6316. 

New transfer students and returning re-entry students to the university must submit an undergraduate application before admission can be reviewed.
