Re-Enrollment Information for LSUA

Although LSUA has six sessions (terms) a year, there are only three semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer).  Summer enrollment is optional and will not affect student records.

One Semester

Students who are not enrolled for one entire semester (both Fall terms or both Spring terms) will need to complete the "I am Coming Back Form" at least two weeks before the term starts to let us know they are returning so we can reactivate their record.  

More Than One Semester

Students who are not enrolled for more than one full semester (Fall ELearn1 and ELearn2 AND ELearn1 of Spring – or all of Spring ELearn1 and ELearn2 and ELearn1 of Fall) will have to reapply.  Students do not have to resubmit documents that we already have but would need to submit new transcripts from any school attended while absent from LSUA.  Re-entry students are eligible to be re-admitted.
