LSU Ring
The LSU RIng–A Tiger Tradition
From stately oaks and broad magnolias to the thrill of Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the LSU Ring is a permanent symbol of your LSU experience and connection to past, present, and future LSU students. Long considered a Tiger tradition and academic milestone for juniors, the LSU Ring is reserved for currently enrolled undergraduates who have completed 75 credit hours, currently enrolled graduate students who have completed 18 credit hours, and LSU alumni.

About the LSU Ring
About the Traditional LSU Ring Design
Each LSU ring represents the uniqueness of Louisiana State University and serves as a lasting symbol of LSU’s proud traditions and values. Oak leaves and magnolia blossoms are carved on both sides. One side features the degree received, gates of LSU, and Seal of the University over the last two words of the Alma Mater, “Forever LSU.” The other side shows the year of graduation, Memorial Tower, and eye of Mike the Tiger. LSU is encrusted on top of an amethyst stone. The words “Louisiana State University” and the founding date of 1860 encircle the stone.
Prior to commencement, students wear the ring with "LSU" facing them as a reminder of the goal within reach. Upon granting of degrees at commencement, graduates turn the ring so that "LSU" faces outward. This symbolizes a graduate's readiness to represent LSU in their post-grad success.
