Taking Courses at Other Schools
pre-2006-2007

Professor Martin Hjortsø and his NBS Bioflo Fermentor

You may wish to take a course at another university or another campus in the LSU system, perhaps during the summer. If you plan to use these credits toward degree requirements, you must be in good academic standing and you must obtain prior approval in writing on a specific-course basis from the dean of engineering. Approval forms are available in the dean's office.

Transfer Students

Transfer students should be aware of the requirements for admission to the LSU and the College of Engineering. You must have earned a 2.5 GPA for all course work attempted at U.S. Institutions. The calculation will be made using LSU's system of counting all attempts at all courses, even if your former institution used another system, such as replacing grades in repeated courses. The catalog allows the Dean to grant admission in exceptional cases if the GPA is below a 2.5, but above a 2.0. Upon written request, the Dean will evaluate an applicant's entire academic record and may grant admission to the College.
