ADMITTED TRANSFER STUDENT CHECKLIST

To see a list of your credits that are transferring to LSU:

1. Log in to your LSU Admissions Portal

2. Under My Application, click "View Your Decision / Transfer Credit Evaluation"

3. Scroll down and click the link to "Transfer Credit Evaluation"

Once you've made LSU your choice, accept your offer of admission, and submit your 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.

Orientation is required for all degree-seeking transfer students at LSU. You can register for Orientation via your LSU Admissions Portal. Students must register for Orientation before they can schedule classes.

Visit the academic advisor page and select your admitted senior college for contact information and instructions to set up an individual appointment to discuss your degree plan, transfer coursework, and planning future coursework. After you’ve registered for orientation, your scheduling hold will be removed within 48 business hours.

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 contract 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.

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.

In order to complete registration, you’ll need to submit final official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended.

You must contact the registrar's office of your college or university and request they send your final transcript directly to LSU. This is the only acceptable form of submission. If they ask for an email address to send to, please use admissions@lsu.edu.

To see which college transcripts are missing, view the checklist in your LSU Admissions Portal.

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!
