Cancellation Information
Cancellation of Registration from the University
If a student has completed registration (paid fees for the upcoming semester) but decides not to attend LSU before the first day of class, the student may cancel the registration. Please see below for the cancellation processes:
| Student Status | Who to Contact |
|---|---|
| New Freshman who have not yet completed registration (paid tuition/fees for their first semester) | Contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at admissions@lsu.edu or 225/578-1175 to request to rescind your admission and discuss next steps. |

Contact the academic college in which you are enrolled prior to the first day of classes to request to cancel your registration. Please review the reminders below prior to initiating a cancellation request. Once cancellation is complete, there will be no record regarding the semester on the student’s file or transcript. The student will receive a 100% refund, minus the $10 registration fee. The student will have to apply to reenter the university in a future semester or term. |
Important Reminders for Continuing Students Cancelling Registration
- Student Aid & Scholarships are not awarded for canceled semesters.
- Reapplication to LSU is necessary for next regular semester or summer term.
- To be considered for readmission, students must fill out a re-entry application at lsu.edu/admissions
- Readmission to LSU and for your intended major is not guaranteed.
- Students not enrolled for at least two consecutive regular semesters follow the curricular requirements stated in the catalog at the time of readmission. This would result in a change in catalog year and possible degree requirements.
- Due to varying residency and senior college academic requirements, students should consult with their college counselor prior to earning credit from other institutions.
- Students who receive an “F” in a course must repeat the course within the campuses of the university in order to receive credit and quality points for it.
- Students who attempt 30 hours or more at another institution, including withdrawn courses with a grade of “W”, since leaving LSU, must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.50 on all college work attempted. This includes college-level courses (non-remedial) in English and mathematics with a C- or better to be considered for re-entry.
