Admitted Students

Once you've made LSU your choice, submit your non-refundable required enrollment deposit in your LSU Admissions Portal to save your spot in the incoming class.

MyLSU is a personalized online resource center for all deposited LSU students.

After 48 hours of activating your myLSU account, you can access the housing portal to submit your housing application and view other myLSU features.

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

Anytime you login to myLSU, you must use your myLSU username. Do not use a personal email address to login to myLSU.

Until you can log in to the housing portal, research where you'd like to live on campus. 

You won't enter an exact building name on the housing application, like Miller Hall or Azalea Hall, but you will tell us if you prefer to live in a traditional housing option or have a living-learning experience in a residential college.

If you change you mind later, email housing@lsu.edu to update your application. 

The housing portal opens December 2, 2024, at 10 a.m. CST to complete one of these two processes to enroll at LSU for 2025-26: 

1. Submit the housing application and academic-year housing contract, and submit the $75 non-refundable fee, or
2. Submit an exemption request to the first-year student live-on requirement. Requests must be approved.

The date you submit the housing application determines your priority for room assignment/selection.

Use your myLSU log in credentials to access the housing portal. It takes 48 hours after first accessing myLSU for you to gain access to the housing portal. 

Review the full details of the academic-year contract and cancellation penalties before you complete this step. 

The housing application priority completion date is May 2, 2025. Students who submit a housing agreement May 3, 2025, and later, will be assigned a room as space is available in June. 

Update: First-year student housing applications submitted after June 1 will be accommodated as best as we can. We are unable to guarantee campus housing assignments to first-year applications submitted after June 1. 

Students living in residential colleges who applied through May 2, can view room and roommate assignments on the housing portal's "My Details" tab May 14, 2025 by 4:30 p.m. CST, once our assignments team makes your room assignment for you.

Students living in traditional housing options who applied through May 2 will select their room May 19-30, 2025. View room selection time slots on the housing portal's "My Details" tab on May 6, 2025 by 4:30 p.m. CST. 

• Room Selection Time Slot: The day and time students living in traditional housing options will gain access to self-select their room and pull in roommates from their preferred roommate group. 

The priority housing agreement completion date is May 2, 2025. If you complete the housing agreement May 3, 2025, or later, our staff will make your room assignment for you starting June 9, 2025. 

Update: First-year student housing applications submitted after June 1 will be accommodated as best as we can. We are unable to guarantee campus housing assignments to first-year applications submitted after June 1. 

Room change requests are honored as space is available. Email our team at housing@lsu.edu if you want to change your housing preference or room. 

Learn more about room availability and room assignments below. 

Cancellation penalties begin June 1, 2025. 

If your plans to live on campus or attend LSU change, you must cancel your housing application and contract. Review the full details of the academic-year contract and cancellation penalties before you complete this step!
