Â鶹´«Ã½app

The University of Louisiana at Â鶹´«Ã½app’s Ragin’ Cajun Bridge Program allows you to be enrolled at South Louisiana Community College (SoLAcc) or Louisiana State University at Eunice (LSUE) with a minimum of six hours, yet still be eligible for benefits typically reserved for full-time University students.

Why Join the Bridge Program?

Benefits include your own UL Â鶹´«Ã½app ID Card as well as access to Edith Garland Dupré Library, the gym at Bourgeois Hall, computer labs and printing services, the Major & Career Exploration Center, the Academic Success Center, advising, select Ragin’ Cajuns athletic events, group outings and more!

The Ragin’ Cajun Bridge Program will enable SoLAcc/LSUE students to get familiar with the University while still enrolled at a community college. The program’s intention is to promote success on both campuses. If you follow the plan, you will earn an associate’s degree from SoLAcc/LSUE and a bachelor’s degree from UL Â鶹´«Ã½app.

Once you have earned a minimum of 24 college-level credit hours (including college-level English and college-level Math) and a 2.25 overall grade point average, you will be eligible to transfer to the University of Louisiana at Â鶹´«Ã½app as a full-time student.

• As part of the program, SoLAcc/LSUE students will meet with a UL Â鶹´«Ã½app academic advisor at least once a semester to ensure you are on the right track to transfer.
• Ragin’ Cajun Bridge participants are allowed to apply for on-campus housing, based on availability.
  • Students will have to pay housing expenses. These expenses are to be paid out of pocket. Unfortunately there is no financial aid available to participants in this program. Contact University Housing with questions.
