Technology Services

When the Cox Communications building was completed in 2002, the Academic Center utilized the new technological capabilities that the building offered. The Academic Center now has 150+ desktop computers for student-athletes to use during study hall. With the computers, the students are able to complete homework assignments, papers, and even take quizzes. The Academic Center also offers several services through technology, such as the Student-Athlete Monitoring System (SAMS) as well as e-Lectures.

In order to maintain the technology, the Academic Center employs an IT staff that consists of LSU undergraduate students who possess a great amount of knowledge in computers and are able to assist student-athletes. The IT staff members welcome student-athletes who require help with any technological problems that may arise when using the technology at the Academic Center.
