HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University is encouraging high school seniors to apply early for the fall 2006 semester. Applying early pays off, said Director of Admissions Richard Beaugh.
Beaugh said students who submit their application and supporting information quickly have a number of advantages over those who wait until late spring or summer.
“You will get an earlier admissions decision from the university,” he said. “Application fees are cheaper, and you’ll be invited to participate in our first Summer Orientation Program.”
Summer Orientation, required for all beginning freshmen and transfer students with less than 12 hours, introduces students to the university and college life through information sessions and fun activities. During the two-day program, students also register for their fall classes. Five sessions are held in June and July.
“If you are in the first SOP, you can get a jump on college and first pick when it comes to class selection,” Beaugh said.
Beaugh said students who get their fall semester applications in by March 1 will have yet another perk: qualifying for a drawing for a laptop computer.
Meeting the needs of prospective students was one of the motivations behind the recent redesign of Southeastern’s Web site – selu.edu.
“The new web site,” Beaugh said, “makes applying fast and easy. We’re inviting all prospective students to visit us online. The Web site will walk them through the admissions process, step by step."
“Apply now,” he said, “and beat the rush.”
Beaugh said students are also welcome to schedule campus tours through the Web site or by contacting Admissions at 1-800-222-SELU or admissions@selu.edu.
