HAMMOND – To provide greater convenience for current students, Southeastern Louisiana
University is opening an additional location on its main campus to assist students
with their admissions, financial aid, records and registration needs. Enrollment Services
Express, the new multi-faceted office, is located in the Student Union, room 1301
and will officially open on Jan. 24 at 11:30 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony for
the campus and community.
The new space will be occupied by staff representatives from Southeastern’s offices
of Admissions, Financial Aid, and Office of the Registrar, all of which currently
reside exclusively on North Campus. According to Assistant Vice President for Enrollment
Management Kay Maurin, the centrally-located Enrollment Services Express will allow
current students to stop in for basic registration and enrollment assistance, as well
as financial aid, without having to travel to North Campus.
“While not all issues can be addressed in this space, many can. The additional
location eliminates the need for students to travel to various North Campus locations,”
she said. “The goal is to make it easy and convenient for our current students.”
New students will also be important clients in the satellite location, Maurin
added. All campus tours will originate in the space, and staff will be able to provide
assistance with admissions applications and answer questions related to financial
aid.
The office will also serve as the hub for the university’s orientation program,
where orientation leaders and staff will train.
“We are thrilled to bring these services to the Student Union and continue with
our mission of providing outstanding service to our new and current students,” Maurin
said.
Southeastern President John L. Crain, Student Government Association Chief Justice
Ali LeBlanc, Roomie the Lion and the 2018 Orientation Leader Team will all be in attendance
at the ribbon cutting ceremony, which will include refreshments, Maurin added.
