We are excited to share with you that we are adapting our Summer and Fall Orientation Programs to a hybrid format! You will get advised for courses for your upcoming semester(s) online and enroll in courses shortly after! You will also be invited to attend an in-person Orientation experience full of programs and activities to prepare you for life as a Southeastern student.

Orientation is the time to learn even more about important campus resources and opportunities available to enhance your college experience. Before the upcoming semester, you will also be required to complete our online Orientation modules that will highlight important information before the semester begins!
