How do you apply for a license for LSU through/with CLC?

How long does it take to complete the licensing process?
The application process can take differing amounts of time to complete depending on the license type being sought. Because the Restricted application process is streamlined, it is generally much faster. The Standard and Local application processes take varying amounts of time to complete based on the number of institutions being sought. Generally, the fewer the number of institutions requested, the more expeditious the application process. As such, CLC highly recommends that you only apply for institutions that you are prepared to maximize in the near term. CLC strongly recommends that applicants not pursue detailed sales discussions or trade show planning until they fully complete the licensing process. In the spirit of fairness, we cannot accommodate "rush" requests as all requests are treated equally and on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are a retailer interested in carrying LSU products. Do we need to obtain a license in order to offer collegiate product?
If your company only sells finished products and does not produce, alter, repackage, or finish collegiate products in any way, you are not required to have a license. Retailers should ensure that the collegiate products they purchase are produced by licensed vendors as discerning consumers will not purchase products that appear counterfeit or unlicensed. The current LSU licensee lists can be found here. Retailers that also screen or embroider their own products or source the products from an associated company must obtain a collegiate license.
