When is the best time to visit campus?

The best time to experience Southeastern is when classes are in session. Consider
visiting our campus on available weekdays Monday-Thursdays. Tours are open for registration
on most Friday mornings during the spring and fall semester. However, most students
are not on campus on Fridays or during University holidays.

University holidays include:

  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day

  • Labor Day
  • Fall Break

  • Christmas

Are campus tours offered on Fridays?

Tours are open for registration on available Friday mornings during the spring and
fall semester, with the University closing at 12:30 PM. Please note: The number of
classes in session are limited on Fridays, so most students will not be on campus.
During the summer, tours are not offered on Fridays due the University being closed
on Fridays during that time.

Are campus tours offered on weekends?

Although our campus tours are offered on available weekdays only, there may be opportunities
throughout the fall and spring semesters to visit for one of our Lion Pride Preview Days, which are typically held on select Fridays and Saturdays. If you would prefer to
explore campus on your own, you can also find our Self-Guided Tour Packet. If you would like to register for one of our weekday tours, you can view available dates and register.

How long is the Transfer Tour, and what will my visit include?

Transfer Tours typically last 60 minutes and include a meeting with a Transfer Admissions
Counselor, along with a student-led walking tour of campus. You will also have the
option to do a University Housing tour. Check out some other campus highlights you may want to include during your visit.

Can I arrange to meet with someone in a specific academic department on the day of
my scheduled tour?

A meeting with a faculty or staff member in an academic department or on-campus office
may be available depending on available faculty or staff on the day of your scheduled
visit. Please submit all to [email protected] at least 5 business days in advance.

 

Preparing for Your Campus Tour

Where do I park when I arrive for the campus tour?

You will be emailed a visitor parking pass to print two days before your scheduled
visit. With your parking pass, you may park in any available spaces on campus, including
visitor parking, as well as student and faculty/staff spaces.

To get you as close as possible to the tour check-in location at the Student Union,
we recommend that you park in one of the lots along North Oak Street (the Student
Union/Bookstore lot or in front of Fayard Hall or McClimans Hall.)

Where do I check in for the campus tour?

You will check in for the tour at the Enrollment Express Office at the Student Union,
Room 1305 (In the breezeway across from the University Bookstore.) View our map to the tour check-in location. On the day of the tour, you will also receive a text message with a Google Map link
for driving directions. If you need assistance, just give us a call at 985-549-2622.

How much walking will I do on the Transfer Tour?

Transfer Tours typically include approximately 45 minutes of walking through the heart
of campus. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. If you need special accommodations,
please email [email protected] at least 3 days in advance of your visit.

What can I expect to do and see on my Transfer Tour?

What are some good places to eat on campus while visiting?

We have many on-campus dining options, and we hope you plan to stay for lunch either

Will my campus tour be canceled if it is raining?

Our campus tours take place rain or shine unless there is inclement weather. Complimentary
ponchos will be available for all visitors. Depending on the severity of the weather,
we may have to alter the tour route, but we will include as much as we can to ensure
a great tour experience. If severe weather persists, we may be required to cancel
the tour as a safety precaution. In the event that a tour is cancelled due to weather,
all registered guests will be notified with a phone call, email and text message.
