First Year Success

At Southeast, you’ll learn two kinds of skills and knowledge:  those particularly targeted for a specific career or profession (your major), and those that will serve you regardless of your chosen profession (University Studies).  In your major, you’ll learn leading-edge information that will allow you to be successful in your first job.  In University Studies, you’ll learn skills and knowledge that will go beyond job-specific abilities.  These are the skills that will make you a valuable employee and a valued colleague.

Academic Advising

At Southeast, you are encouraged to consider many academic and career interests. Our academic advisors can help by providing guidance related to course selection and registration. If you haven’t selected a major, the University Studies advisor can provide you with assistance.

Center for Writing Excellence

Need help on a writing assignment? Could you use an experienced writing tutor? The Center for Writing Excellence, located in Kent Library, is for all students – not just for those who struggle with writing. It’s free, so whether you need help on one assignment or you feel the need for weekly conferences, the staff at the Center for Writing Excellence can help!

Disability Services
