International Orientation Resources

Welcome future Lions!

On behalf of the Office for Student Engagement and the  Office of Multicultural and International Student Affairs, we are excited to have you join our Southeastern family.  International Student Orientation is a program that gives new international students
the opportunity to become comfortable at Southeastern providing information regarding
services, policies, advising requirements, immigration counseling, and registration
procedures. 

This year’s International Orientation Program will be hosted on Southeastern’s campus
in the Student Union, Room # 2207 (303 Union Ave, Hammond, LA 70402, Floor 2) on Thursday, August 11th 2022. Orientation will be held from 8 am to 6 pm CST.  The Wesley Center will be hosting an optional welcome dinner and tour of the food
pantry.
