It’s never too late to start your college career at Nicholls State University. New students ages 25 and older and all former students who attended Nicholls prior to fall 2005 are exempt from the university’s new admission requirements.

            “Adult students comprise one of our fastest-growing groups of students,” Courtney Cassard, director of enrollment services, said. “Earning a college degree as an adult has never been easier. Financial aid is available for many students and classes are available to fit a variety of schedules and formats, including evenings and online classes.”

Recreational fish ponds or farm ponds can serve many purposes. They offer a great sport fishing opportunity, a good swimming area, provide valuable soil to elevate other portions of your property, aesthetically enhance your landscape, provide valuable habitat for wildlife and can serve as a reservoir for livestock, irrigation or firefighting needs. Properly managed, ponds can be a beautiful addition to your lifestyle, but when they are neglected, they can become a weed-infested eyesore. Springtime in South Louisiana is a time for growth, especially for the aquatic weeds in a fish pond. Controlling these weeds is essential to maintaining the health of your pond.

Thibodaux - Student athletes at Nicholls State University are distinguishing themselves in the classroom, according to information released today by the National Collegiate Athletic Association on the academic progress rates of nearly 6,272 Division I teams. 

Not only were Nicholls’ athletics teams among the majority of Division I organizations that received no sanctions associated with progress rates – Nicholls was the only Southland Conference institution to receive no penalties.

“We are delighted that our teams continue to improve academically,” said Rob Bernardi, athletics director. “Our escalating APR scores are a clear indication of our progress.”
