PREP
session

PREP is an orientation program designed to help new students make a smooth transition to college life. All incoming freshmen who live in Louisiana or a contiguous state (Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas) are required to attend one of the four sessions. This includes freshmen who are enrolled in summer classes.

Although it is to your benefit to attend PREP, if you live outside of the area described above and cannot attend, please click here. Follow the instructions on this page in order to be advised and enroll in your classes. Please note that the PREP program is funded through a matriculation fee and will be added to all freshmen tuition and fee bills. Students not able to attend one of the sessions will receive assistance by phone and internet in addition to an evening orientation session on August 24.

During PREP you will select your fall classes, scope out the campus, and meet your fellow classmates. You will also meet with faculty and administrators, take necessary placement exams, change your major if needed, and finally make your course selections. You will leave PREP with a completed schedule of classes for the fall semester.

When you arrive at PREP, you will meet your PREP staff leaders. The PREP staff will acquaint you with the ins-and-outs of being a new student at ULM.

Reserve your spot at PREP by completing the online reservation form. Once we receive your reservation, you will receive important confirmation materials, via email or mail, regarding the check-in process.

There is a non-refundable fee of $100 for PREP. This fee covers orientation materials and lunch while at PREP. Programming for the First Year Experience program will be covered by this fee as well. No payment is due at the time you make your online reservation. This fee will be added to tuition and fee bills for all freshmen.
