Set Up Third Party Proxy Access
LSU is transitioning from MyProxy to Third Party Proxy access in Workday Student. Your Tiger must grant you access.
We also encourage your Tiger to submit a FERPA Waiver.
Submit Immunization Forms to the Student Health Center
Your Tiger should submit proof of
immunizations and complete the
Tuberculosis questionnaire found on page 2 of the same form.
Add additional services
After your Tiger receives their class schedule, they should add additional services via myLSU, such as meal plans. Visit dineoncampus.com/lsu and click the meal plans tab to view options for residents and commuters.
Register for a parking permit
Does your Tiger plan to bring a vehicle to
campus? Review the student permit
details.
Have your student complete Vector
LSU requires first-time students under the age of 22 to complete Vector Solutions Primary Prevention Suite education prior to the first day of classes.
Complete Registration by paying tuition & fees by the deadline
Students pay their fee bill via myLSU,
and parents/guardians can view and
pay via Third Party Proxy access in Workday Student.
Have the important conversations
Discuss your expectations and encourage responsibility in the personal choices your
student will be making.
Students should read the LSU Code of
Student Conduct.
Create a Move-In Day checklist
View Move-In Day essentials to help the move-in process go smoothly. Move-In for first-year students will be held August 15-17, 2025.
Get ready for Welcome Week
All first-year students are required to
participate in Welcome Week, which will be held August 17-24, 2025.
Bring important documents
If your student plans to get a job (on or off campus) while in Baton Rouge, they need
to be able to provide
acceptable documentation. Employees must provide documentation to their
employers to show their identity and authorization to work.
Make a financial plan
Talk about how your student intends to
budget and pay expenses, and discuss employment options, including on-campus jobs, for your student.
Visit the Student Financial
Management Center in the LSU Career Center for tips.
Send care packages to your Tiger
Send notes from home, practical items, or treats to share with roommates and
friends.
These are especially welcome during more stressful times of the
semester!
