Welcome Week
August 16-23, 2026
Welcome Week is the final phase of your orientation to LSU. This exciting event takes place right before the semester begins so that you can be completely comfortable and prepared to start your experience at LSU.
We know that students who attend Welcome Week are more confident when they start classes and are more successful throughout their time at LSU. This is because they have had the time to meet new friends, have learned about the resources that will help them to be successful here at LSU, and know what it means to be a true LSU Tiger. It’s also a lot of fun! Attendance at Welcome Week August 16-23 is mandatory for all members of the Class of 2030, and we can’t wait to see you back on campus!
Welcome Week Schedule
Most of the events Monday - Wednesday are required for new students and will be noted on the schedule. The schedule will be available in June 2026.
Choose Your Adventure
As part of your Welcome Week experience, all freshman students are required to participate by signing up for either a Choose Your Adventure event or a programming track. These experiences are designed to help you discover your passions, build community, and begin writing your LSU story. There are dozens of Choose Your Adventure options available, but only a handful require pre-registration due to capacity limits. All events are limited to LSU students and Tiger Cards will be needed to access the events. The schedule and registration will begin in July 2026.
