A first-time, first-year student is a student who has never attended any college (or other post-secondary institution) after completing high school. This includes students enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term, as well as, students who entered with college credit earned before high school completion, such as dual enrollment.
As a visiting student, you are eligible to attend Louisiana Tech University for one quarter without being “regularly” admitted.
