Congratulations on completing your Online Orientation program! You are one step closer
to being an official Southeastern Lion, and we cannot wait to have you on campus really
soon. This next step is where you will register your classes as well as a refresher
on how to navigate Leonet, our online student portal for all things related to your
student account. Be sure to watch all available videos and take note of the tips provided
by the Center for Student Excellence. Remember to only schedule the courses you were
advised to take. We are here for you if you have any questions and are happy to help
along the way!
Each subject may have several options (or sections) from which you can choose. The
day and time the class meets will likely be your primary reason for class selections.
You are building a weekly class schedule, so you’ll want to make sure you take into
account times of the day you are most alert and ready for learning, outside-of-class
obligations that are already fixed into your week, and opportunities for breaks.
Term classes are courses that have been concentrated and condensed into half of a
semester. For Fall and Spring, this means that these classes will last only 2 months
out of the 4 months designated for the semester. That means learning a complete course
in half the time. It could be a Term 1 course, which takes place the first half of
the semester, ending at the midpoint. Or it could be a Term 2 course, beginning at
the midpoint and ending at the close of the semester.
Once you are registered for Southeastern 101 or SE 102 (that’s your First Year Success
course), you have an assigned advisor. Your SE 101 teacher doubles as your first-year
advisor. If anything important happens after your advising appointment that you think
might have an effect on your scheduled classes, you must notify your advisor to make
the needed changes. View our First Year Success Staff here.
In terms of scheduling by location, all classes on the main campus can be reached
within 10 to 15 minutes at an average walking pace. North campus is a bit father out
and may require 15 or more minutes to arrive there from main campus. Click here to view a campus map to help plan out your classes.
As you can already see, a variety of factors go into creating a schedule. Course availability
may also diminish as each orientation group rolls through and students claim more
available seats.
Your advisors are aware of this and will make sure your advising form also contains
“alternate courses”. These are additional courses required by your major that can
be considered for scheduling as needed. These serve as excellent back-up plans that
will keep you progressing in your major despite potential course availability issues,
unresolvable class timing conflicts, or other scheduling complications.
Southeastern’s official method of communication is your Southeastern email. If the
university or your advisor needs to send you important information, it will be through
this email. Orientation students have always been encouraged to regularly check their
email throughout the summer, but perhaps now with social distancing limitations, this
is more important than ever.
