Once you've made LSU your choice, accept your offer of admission, and submit your non-refundable required enrollment deposit in your LSU Admissions Portal to save your spot in next year's historic incoming class.

The enrollment deposit must be submitted before you can complete any checklist item below.

Next Step: Create your MyLSU Account

MyLSU is a personalized online resource center for all deposited LSU students. For incoming students, myLSU is where you will complete enrollment requirements, including housing, immunizations, online orientation, and more.

Follow the steps below to activate your myLSU account:

1. Visit my.lsu.edu
2. Enter your myLSU username in the “myLSU account or Email Address” space. (Your myLSU username can be found in your LSU Admissions Portal ex: mtiger1).
3. Click “Forgot Password”
4. Complete steps to create a password

24 hours after activating your myLSU account, you will be able to access your Housing agreement and the other myLSU features.

**Important** Anytime you login to myLSU, you must use your myLSU username. Do not enter your personal email address to login to myLSU. The system will not recognize your personal email address and not allow you to complete your required items.

Within 48 hours after activating your MyLSU account, you'll have access to the Housing portal where you will submit your on-campus housing agreement or request an exemption.

You do not indicate a roommate or select your specific residence hall on the housing agreement. However, the housing agreement determines your priority for Room Selection, which occurs in May or June.

You must submit either the Housing Agreement OR the Housing Exemption to enroll at LSU.

Bengal Bound Orientation is required for all incoming students in order to receive a course schedule for the Fall semester.

Registration is available in your LSU Admissions Portal.

Louisiana law requires immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria. LSU also requires a completed tuberculosis questionnaire for all first-time LSU students.

Louisiana Residents: LSU automatically receives immunization information for in-state students. In addition to having up-to-date immunization records, you must also submit the TB questionnaire to complete the requirements. You may complete this form, as well as check your immunization compliance status via the Patient Portal.

Non-Louisiana Residents: You must submit the Proof of Immunization Compliance form, which must be completed by a physician or healthcare provider. No separate documents or attachments are accepted. You may upload the completed form via the Patient Portal.

Use your myLSU credentials to log in to the Patient Portal.

For more information, contact the Immunization Desk in the Student Health Center, 225-578-0593.

Submit final official transcripts from all schools attended. This includes your final high school transcript, dual enrollment transcripts, and vocational or technical school transcripts.

Submit verified score reports for all standardized tests. This includes ACT, AP, CLEP, IB, and SAT. These can be sent by your high school counselor, ACT, or College Board.

You may also send score reports via email to admissions@lsu.edu. These can be screenshots of your score report from your ACT or College Board portal. Ensure your name, test date, and scores are all visible. We recommend using a screenshot from a desktop, laptop, or tablet.

Fee bills are generated about one month before the semester you plan to enroll begins. On myLSU, select “Fee Bill” under “Registration Services” in the main menu. Once you submit your fee bill and click "Complete Registration", you’re officially a Tiger!
