Southern University and A&M College FAQs
Are you able to send in AP scores?
Make sure when you do send those in to send them to Miss Diana Gilbert, in our registrar's office.
What does Southern University have for students if they traveled from California and they don't have food or they may need personal items? Do you attend to those types of needs?
We do have our A.D.A and Title nine compliance office for those students who may have a disability or for those students who may have gone through high school with an individual education, an education plan or an IEP. If you had an IEP in any form, we have our Office of Disability Services ran by Dr. Smith.
We do have our food pantry, which is open five days a week and is 100 percent confidential for those students and a need-based meaning. We do not turn any student around no matter how many times a day, and as long as they show a need. We do offer those students not only to nonperishables and things of that nature, but also to feminine and male hygiene products that they may not be able to afford in our campus bookstore.
Do you have a student support center?
So also near the back of campus, we have our health clinic, which is ran by Dr. Gretta Wilks and we have our counseling center ran by Dr. Valerie Ervin. They have their own medicine, but they need to register it with our campus if they don't have to go off campus to a Walgreens or CVS, if they don't have transportation, they can go right there. Ideally, located by our dorms is our student health center and our counseling center, which, of course is one hundred percent confidential for any of those needs that students have.
What are some of the highlights of campus living that they could look forward to if you had to name the top two or three highlights of living on campus there at Southern University?
Top two or three would be the Bluff were located on the bluff of the Mississippi River. We do have a pavilion where students often eat crawfish and watch the sun go down over the Mississippi River, which is ideally located next to our archives building.
Lake Karenin was donated to us by a group of alum, and it is absolutely beautiful. It's right by the bridge that connects our undergraduate campus to our law center. I think that's those natural highlights of a land grant institution is what really makes Southern feel like home.
I guess the third thing would just be familiar and friendly faces. I think that that sort of cliche. But it's really what sold Southern to me coming out of high school is the family environment that Southern has.
