The purpose of the LSUS intercollegiate athletic program is to promote the education, development and enrichment of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Intercollegiate athletics represents an important part of the university educational program and many lasting friendships are formed as a result of association through athletics. This program is open to full-time, regularly enrolled undergraduates who are in good standing with the university and who are in compliance with the eligibility requirements of the national association.
Students play for the educational and recreational values of participation.
Participation is open to any regularly enrolled LSUS student regardless of curriculum or degree program.
