Frequently Asked Questions

Is Orientation mandatory?

New Student Orientation (NSO) is mandatory for all new undergraduate students and confirms your enrollment at 四虎影视.

When you attend Orientation, you’ll get acclimated to the university by taking tours of campus, learning about important programs and resources, participating in informational workshops, interacting with faculty and staff, and getting to know other new students. Most importantly, you’ll get a head start when you receive academic advising and register for your fall classes. The program is designed to answer nearly all your questions with one visit to campus!

What does the Orientation fee cover?

The Orientation fee includes a meal, NSO materials and publications, LU swag, programming and administrative costs.

How do I register?

Choose from Freshman Orientation or Transfer Student Orientation. Registration closes one week before the session start date or when the session has reached capacity, whichever comes first.

What is TSI and am I exempt?

Students attending Texas public institutions of higher education must be in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). The law requires all entering college students to be assessed for college readiness in mathematics, reading, and writing unless the student qualifies for an exemption.

How can I change my major?

New students who want to change their major before attending their orientation/advising session should email majors@lamar.edu with your LU Identification Number and new major.
Transfer students should email registration@lamar.edu with your L Number and new major.

What if I cannot pay for Orientation?

If you cannot pay for Orientation, please email our office at nslp@lamar.edu.
