Concurrent Enrollment Program

A Concurrent-Enrollment Program allows well qualified high school seniors to register in one or more courses at LSU. Requirements for participation in the program are senior classification, a grade-point average of at least 3.0, an ACT composite score of 27, recommendation of the high school principal and certification that the student has completed the high school's most advanced course in the subject area in which the student wishes to enroll (or that in the principal's judgment, the student is qualified), and the recommendation of the head of the appropriate department of the university. Concurrent enrollment will be permitted only when space, faculty, and other university facilities can accommodate these students. (LSU Concurrent Enrollment: 578-1421)

Students enrolled in the Concurrent Enrollment Program at LSU will receive college and high school credit for the course(s) taken.
