We've partnered with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette) to create a Welcome Guide for the incoming University of Louisiana at Lafayette students.
The Student Welcome Guide is a one-stop resource for incoming students to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette that includes listings for UL Lafayette Campus Services, places to eat in and around, and some upcoming free events taking place in Lafayette.
The Student Welcome Guide is also an easy and fun way to win prizes allowing you to check in at all the places listed above for a chance to win gift cards to local restaurants and places on campus.
Signing up is easy. Just follow the instructions below, and you're all set to start checking in for a chance to win prizes!
