Application Each applicant is required to complete an online application for admission for the desired semester. The application can be found at the institution’s website (www.susla.edu).
Application Fee A non-refundable application processing fee of $20.00 is required of all applicants. The application fee is required regardless if applicant enrolls at SUSLA or not. It can be paid online when submitting the application or it can be mailed in the form of a money order or cashier’s check to: SUSLA Admissions Office, 3050 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Shreveport, LA 71107. Applicants can also call the university Cashier to make a credit card payment over the phone.
The Chancellor or his designee must approve in writing any application fee waiver. The approval must be noted in the student’s admission file for auditing purposes.
Immunization Record Each person entering the university shall provide satisfactory evidence of immunity to or immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases to include but not be limited to measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus/diphtheria, and meningitis. This policy applies to all students entering the institution for the first time and all students returning after an absence of one semester or more. Under certain circumstances, the student may sign an immunization waiver.
In the event of an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease, students without immunization records will be excluded from the premises until the appropriate disease incubation period has expired or the unimmunized person presents evidence of immunization. Students may opt to waiver the immunization requirement during the web application process. Students enrolled in 100% online programs are not required to submit proof of immunization.

Transcripts are required whether or not credits were earned or whether student desires credits to be articulated at SUSLA.
Students who are unable to obtain official transcripts due to indebtedness are ineligible to enroll at SUSLA.
Failure to acknowledge attendance at each school in which the student has been enrolled is subject to dismissal from the University without refund of fees.
College transcripts are considered official when the original transcript is issued to Southern University at Shreveport Admissions or Registrar’s Office via mail or approved electronic transmission.
