Welcome to the Southeastern Family!
Parents, guardians or spouse - you are also invited to Orientation! In fact, everyone
is welcome to attend the Family Program and while participation is not required, we
certainly encourage you to come take a closer look at Southeastern.
The Family program has been created with your needs and questions in mind. We hope you will take advantage of this incredible opportunity, allowing us to introduce you to the Southeastern community.
During this program, we will guide you on everything you need to know about Southeastern and college life. Topics will include: TOPS, Financial Aid, Scholarships, Housing, Meal Plans, Textbook Rental, Student Affairs, Paying Fees, and much more.
The Family Orientation Program is separate from the students' program, and it begins with registration on the first day of your students program. Family members will participate in the morning activities with their students. After lunch, a separate Family Program begins with specific details and information for designed for family members. Family members will have one more opportunity to meet up with your student before departing for the day.
The one-day program will give you and your family the opportunity to meet with university administrators, faculty, and staff to answer any questions you might have.
We are looking forward to welcoming your parents, guardians, or spouse to the "Southeastern Family."
