We're sorry that the price for the Acct 202 online text has caused so much strife & are working with the publisher to lower it to match the hard copy cost.The $999 price was set w/ good intentions, though we realize now that we needed to explain the rationale behind it better.
We are teaming up with the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans as their Official Higher Education Partner! The partnerships will give students & recent grads access to internships, job experiences and networking opportunities, and fund two annual scholarships.
In 1954, UL Lafayette became the first previously all-white university in the Deep South to integrate, and to do so peacefully. In honor of

The power is out and the wind is howling, but Ragin' Cajuns aren't letting the storm keep them down. Students are even playing music in Baker Hall. LUS says our res halls are a priority and will head out when the storm subsides. Hoping to have it back around 4- 6 a.m.
You made it to the last day of classes for the spring 2020 semester!!! While the semester didn’t turn out like anyone expected, we applaud the students, faculty and staff on adapting to the changes required and rising to the challenges of life during a global pandemic. 🤟
