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
• Mardi Gras
• Easter/Spring Break
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Fall Break
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas

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.

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.

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.

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 tours@southeastern.edu at least 5 business days in advance.

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.)

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.

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 tours@southeastern.edu at least 3 days in advance of your visit.

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.
