Registrar's Office

How can I change my major or program?
If you are a new or continuing student and have scheduled courses, you will need to change your major by filling out the change of program form and submitting it to the Registrar’s Office.

When can I see my new major in LoLA?
If you want your change of major to be viewable in LOLA for the current semester, the change of major form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office by the end of the Add/Drop period of your first scheduled course for that semester.

 All change of major forms received after the Add/Drop period will be viewable in LOLA the following semester.

I want to add/drop a course. What do I do? 
You can add/drop a course in LOLA within the Add/Drop period.

What is the difference between dropping and withdrawing from a course?
When you drop a course in LOLA, the course is removed from your schedule. You are not financially responsible for the course that is dropped. A course can only be dropped during the course’s Add/Drop period which is indicated on the Academic Calendar.

You can withdraw from either a course(s) or the college. This process is initiated and completed by the student in LOLA. However, the course(s) will not be removed from your schedule, and you will receive a grade of a “W”. This grade will not affect your academic GPA but it may affect your Financial Aid’s SAP. You are still financially responsible for the course(s) you are withdrawing up to 100%.

What is Cross-Enrollment?
Cross-Enrollment allows SoLAcc students to take courses at UL Lafayette in the same semester. Courses taken at both institutions count towards full-time enrollment at your home institution (SoLAcc). You can take courses at UL to complete your SoLAcc degree.

Can I take a course that SoLAcc does not offer?
Yes, as long as the course you are interested in transfers back towards your degree at SoLAcc.

How many courses can I take at UL Lafayette?
You must be registered for at least the same number of hours at SoLAcc as you are at UL. Please note that your cross-enrollment credits (UL courses) cannot exceed 6 credits in the Fall and Spring semesters and 3 credits in the Summer session. The minimum overall GPA for cross-enrolled student’s is 2.25.

How can I obtain a verification of my enrollment status?

I can't register because of a hold on my account.  What do I do?

I am an incoming Freshman.  When do I register for class?
You will complete registration during your scheduled Student Success Live session.

When does registration begin for the next semester?
Registration dates are available on the Academic Calendar. 

How do I request a copy of my transcript?
All transcript requests must be submitted through National Student Clearinghouse website. Once your transcript has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation.

Can someone pick up my transcript for me?
You can send family members or friends to pick up a transcript on your behalf. If you are sending someone else to pick up your transcript on your behalf, provide him/her with a letter that clearly states your name, their name, that they have permission to pick up your transcript, a copy of your picture id, and your signature. Ensure that the letter includes your handwritten signature. We require your signature to comply with federal FERPA privacy regulations.

What is the difference between an official electronic and paper transcript?
Official transcripts are issued either as an electronic transcript inPDF format or a paper transcript. Both documents are official versions of your transcript. Students with an academic record prior to the Fall of 2003 cannot receive electronic transcripts.

I have submitted my official transcript. When will my official transcript be evaluated?
Your official transcript will be evaluated and transcribed prior to your Student Success Live (SSL) Session, only if you received a confirmation email from the Registrar’s Office (RO) and you submitted your official transcript at least 3 days before the scheduled Student Success Live session.
