Louisiana State University Eunice provides services and activities to assist students in making their educational careers more satisfying and successful. The many programs offered aid the individual’s total development—personal, social, and physical, as well as intellectual.
Advising/Academics
Upon entering LSU Eunice, each student is assigned an academic advisor who aids in class scheduling and provides guidance in dealing with any academic problems the student may encounter while on campus. Additionally, all faculty members set aside time for student conferences and encourage members of their classes to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss their classwork individually.
In addition to academic advising provided by faculty advisors, students can receive a broad range of advising services through the Offices of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, including counseling regarding admission, academics, financial aid, and career decisions. First-year students (29 credit hours or less) will receive advising services through the Student Success Center (Science Building, Room 146).
