LSU Cares
LSU Cares is a collaborative campus-wide initiative led by the Division of Student Life & Enrollment to identify and positively intervene with students to help them succeed. The mission of LSU Cares centers on providing a mechanism for reporting situations and students of concern in an appropriate way.
The initiative consists of two teams: the Academic Intervention Team (AIT) which addresses academic concerns, and the C.A.R.E. (Communicate, Assess, Refer, Educate) Team, which addresses behavioral concerns. Concerns about LSU students can be submitted online at the LSU Cares page at http://www.lsu.edu/lsucares. Submissions will be immediately routed to the appropriate team for review. Appropriate submissions may include academic or personal difficulties such as death in the family, irregular course attendance, financial difficulties or academic underperformance.
LSU is a caring, supportive, purposeful, and engaged community supporting all current students across the university. We appreciate your support.
