Transition
Surveying Experiences to Inform Change
Insights from Our Community
The transition team surveyed current students and alumni to better understand their experiences and perspectives. The questions explored academic programs, campus life, career preparation, and opportunities for future growth. These findings are being used by the transition team's working groups to guide discussions as the transition moves forward.
Comprehensive Report from Workgroups

The report examines the current condition of the University of New Orleans and presents a phased roadmap to transition the institution into LSU New Orleans, with recommendations for the University's academic, operational and financial future.

Welcome Home. LSU New Orleans.
Proud History. Powerful Future.
Plans are underway for the University of New Orleans to rejoin the LSU System in the summer of 2026. This will be an exciting new chapter that strengthens our mission, expands our reach, and deepens our commitment to New Orleans and Louisiana.
Throughout the transition, we will remain focused on academic continuity. Students can continue and complete their degrees as planned, and current faculty and department structures will stay intact.
Together with the LSU System, we will preserve what makes UNO special—our deep roots in New Orleans, our commitment to affordability and access, and our service to regional industries—while building a stronger, more resilient future for our students, faculty, and the communities we serve.
