A $30 non-refundable orientation fee will be charged to your account. This fee covers all steps of your orientation experience while enrolled at Southeast including meals for you and your guests, publications, materials, postage and staffing of orientation events.

Academic Advising

At Transfer Orientation, you have the option of having our office make your advising appointment for that day, or you may opt to call your advisor to make an appointment for a different date.  When you call our office, we will give you your advisor information.

Southeast Connection

Southeast values experiential learning and open communication among faculty, staff, and students. Through interactive sessions facilitated by Southeast faculty, staff and student Orientation Leaders, you will receive "nuts and bolts" information, meet other members of your class and begin your Southeast connection.

Orientation Handbook

As entering Southeast students, information about all the university resources can become overwhelming.  To help you along, we have created an Orientation Handbook which lists information on classes, advising and enrollment, campus living, financial aid, etc.
