I’m confused about the application portal for LSU. When I applied, I received an email with a link to view my application checklist and the entire list is complete. However, there’s no application status; just a list of application materials so it seems like this isn’t my actual portal. I researched and found that I’m supposed to have a Paws ID to access my MyLSU account to check my status, but I never received anything like that. I called LSU and they told me my application checklist is where my decision would be posted but after reading other threads it sounds like people can check their application status and decision on some type of portal that I don’t think I have. Can someone clarify this for me please? Thanks!
Hi. My sons is the same. He applied on the common app back in October. He called admissions several times about it and even asked about the Paws ID and they said that the checklist was his admission portal!!! They also kept saying it was under review yet that was never reflected on that checklist. It recently just changed requesting mid year grades but that’s it. So now we send them and sit and wait… we never got a request to answer more questions or such.
My son has been admitted and I am not clear if he even has another portal… I think it’s kind of confusing.Maybe you don’t get to see the real portal until you put down your deposit?
Thanks both of you for your help! It must be normal since i’m not the only one.
From what I read it sounds like once the applicant has been accepted, they will be provided info for the MyLSU portal which is different from the application status portal. Has anyone gotten additional credentials to set up an MyLSU portal? If so, how long did it take after the applicaiton status update?
My son received acceptance on the regular/application status portal 2/13.
We have yet to receive information to access the MyLSU. Trying to be patient 
I am starting to think you have to put down a deposit to get access to the Mylsu portal because I am pretty sure my Ds still doesn’t have a pawsid.
I gave in and called admissions. @MichiganGeorgia you are correct. You receive the My LSU login (My Paws ID) once you pay the deposit.
Any financial aid etc will come in the mail Mid to End of March.
