Step One

Identify & Contact

If you don't have an advisor in mind, you can reach out to any advisory listed below and schedule a time to meet.

Charges & Rights

Understand your charges and your rights as a student by reviewing the Code of Student Conduct. Information about a student's right to have one Advisor can be found in Section 4.5 and 6.6. Respondents may have an attorney or non-attorney advisor represent them during any meetings with SAA.

Limitations

Accountability Advisors, as described on this site, do not apply in cases involving Title IX (PM-73). 

For information regarding Advisors in the Title IX process, please see page 10 of PM-73, which contains LSU’s Title IX policies. Any questions regarding Advisors in that process may contact LSU’s Title IX Coordinator.

Per Section 6.1 of the Code of Student Conduct, a student has the right to have one Advisor of his/her choice present during any accountability meeting.
