Louisiana Board of Regents

Louisiana’s Future Now


In 2019 Louisiana set dual goals—producing 85,000 completers per year and having at least 60% of the population earn a credential of value by 2030. Today our campuses have met the goal of doubling the annual number of completers earned in our state, reaching 85,000 four years early. And we remain on track to reach 60% attainment. That early success reflects higher education’s embrace of reforms that work for the students they proudly serve. For Louisiana the future is now.

Dual Enrollment

Act 128 of the 2019 Regular Session created the Dual Enrollment Framework Task Force. The Task Force will review existing laws, policies, and efforts in Louisiana and other states on dual enrollment, course choice, student remediation, articulation and transfer, and transition courses; consider any dual enrollment recommendations from the College and Career Readiness Commission; seek to coordinate all dual enrollment efforts of the Board of Regents.

Hunger-Free Campus

The Hunger-Free Campus designation and grant program are a two-part mandate not only to recognize those campuses that have established critical student services around hunger and related concerns but also for the Board of Regents to develop a competitive grant program to support our institutions in these efforts.
