Description
Welcome to the Pilot Family!
New Student Orientation (NSO) is your first step toward a successful start at LSU Shreveport. Designed for all new students entering in Spring 2027, NSO will help you become familiar with campus, connect with fellow students, learn about important resources and services, and register for your first semester classes. By the end of the program, you'll feel more confident, informed, and ready to begin your journey as an LSUS Pilot.
A $20 registration fee is required for each attendee and may be paid online in advance or at check-in by cash, check, or card. Attendance is required for all first-time first-year students and strongly encouraged for transfer students to ensure a smooth transition to LSUS.
To help students fully engage in the experience, New Student Orientation is reserved for incoming students only. Parents, family members, and guests are not permitted to attend orientation sessions.

Questions & Answers
- Why should I attend?
New Student Orientation is designed to help you make a confident and successful transition to LSUS. During NSO, you'll register for classes, meet other incoming Pilots, learn about key campus resources and services, explore opportunities for involvement, and gain valuable insights that will help you navigate your college journey. Whether you have questions about academics, student life, or campus support services, NSO is your opportunity to get the answers and connections you need before classes begin.
- Who should attend?
All first-time, first-year students and transfer students are required to attend New Student Orientation.
- What time?
Orientation registration begins at 8:00 AM and should end around 3:00 PM (ending times may vary).
- Can I bring guests to Orientation?
New Student Orientation is designed specifically for incoming students, so we ask that parents, family members, and other guests do not attend. This allows students to fully engage in the experience, build connections with their future classmates, and begin developing the independence and confidence that are important for a successful transition to college. Throughout the day, students will receive personalized guidance, connect with campus resources, and have opportunities to ask questions in a setting designed just for them. We appreciate your family's support as you take this exciting first step as an LSUS student!
- How much does it cost?
The cost to attend is $20.00 per person attending. The fee may be paid in advance online or by cash, check, or money order the day of the event. Please note that all orientation fees are non-refundable. If you have any questions regarding payment, please email FYE@LSUS.EDU or call 318-797-5256.
