Alum Success

Dan Goodrich

“I chose LSSU expecting a very good engineering education. What I didn’t expect was faculty with real-world engineering experience and abilities, labs with real-world equipment, projects with real-world outcomes, and an entire campus staff with real interest in my success, as a student and yet today. My LSSU engineering education has created or supported every desired career opportunity. LSSU was absolutely the right place for me.”

The Financial Aid Office establishes a Cost of Attendance budget each year as the basis of awarding financial aid for the academic year. These budgets reflect the “average cost” of attendance for an LSSU student.

If your actual expenses are higher, you may request a review of your budget for certain expenses.

Your LSSU Account Information

Your LSSU Student Account charges include direct costs such as tuition, room and board and other related fees. For a complete cost list and detailed payment information, go to www.lssu.edu/costs.

Once you are an admitted student, you will be assigned an Anchor Access Account where your personal Cost of Attendance budget will be shown. You can check your status at My.LSSU.

Student fee statements are sent electronically to your My.LSSU account. If you need assistance with your account please contact the Student Service Center at 906-635-2232.

Political Science ...

Krystal Bosley
Political Science

"The study of political science/law is basically the path of least resistance for me. It is a subject that has always interested me, and one that I have proved to be naturally insightful in. Studying political science isn’t just the study of how governments function or how it is composed, but the study of why it exists and to what ends. In short, it is the study of what makes everything else possible."
