Louisiana State University has booted at least 78 students who did not comply with the school's vaccine mandate, according to a university spokesman.

The noncompliant students were sent an email Tuesday stating that they were "resigned" and that LSU would reimburse 50% of their school fees, FOX23 reported .

"As a student, you were sent numerous notifications regarding the Entry Test Requirement and reminders to comply. Should you want to re-enroll at the university, you must complete the Entry Test Verification Survey. You will then need to email the Office of Academic Affairs at academicaffairs@lsu.com stating your desire to be reinstated and added back to your courses," the email to students read.

Ernie Ballard, director of LSU's media relations, confirmed that the university had begun the process of unenrolling students.

"The goal from the start has been to get everyone in compliance, but while the number has shrunk, those 78 have been contacted that they are being unenrolled from the university," he said . "These students did not comply with the COVID entry procedures."
