Prospective Weekend
Spring Invitational (formerly Spring Testing) Spring Invitational is an orientation session for admitted students with high GPAs and ACT scores. Invited students get the chance to take tests to place out of multiple classes, schedule before most other LSU students, and meet with their faculty advisors, as well as participate in plenty of fun activities and get a better feel for the campus. SPIN is usually in the beginning of April. Requirements include a 28 ACT and a 3.2 GPA in their 18 core classes. After March 4, high schools can recommend students with lower GPAs or ACTS. Keep in touch with your school about SPIN. For more information, contact the office of Office of Orientation at (225) 578-2634. SPIN is a golden opportunity to get a feel for the campus, as well as to test out of several hours of classes. Unlike the other information sessions offered in the summer, SPIN is the focus of the campus for the several days you are there.
