Preparing for an online course?  Use this quick checklist to stay on the right track!

If you are a new or returning student to Southeast:

• Complete the admissions process.
• Activate your SE Key. (If activated during prior attendance, your SE Key and password remain unchanged. Password reset information is also available here.)
• If you are completing one of our online degrees, participate in online orientation.
• For any other major or program, register and attend First Step/Transfer Orientation, if directed. Otherwise, schedule an advising appointment with your assigned advisor.

For current Southeast students:

• Schedule your advising appointment as soon as permitted, preferably before your Priority Registration Date. Then, register for classes as soon as you are eligible.

For ALL students:

• If taking your first online course with Southeast:
  • Review the minimum or recommended system requirements.
  • Complete the Sample Course.
  • Review the Online Student Guidebook.
• Know how to access your course(s) and your Southeast email in the portal.
• Bookmark the following links in case of portal maintenance/inaccessibility:
  • Alternate access for student email
  • Alternate access for online courses
• Contact Textbook Rental to arrange for rental textbooks
• Check the Southeast Bookstore to see if any supplemental materials are required or to purchase textbooks.
• If you are a student with a disability, contact Disability Support Services:
  • To complete the process for requesting assistance/accommodations.
  • To notify them of your schedule if special textbooks/materials are needed.
• Prepare a tentative schedule (days and times) when you will work on your course every week to avoid falling behind.
• Mark your calendar for the starting date of your course, and login on that day for initial instructions. If you experience technical problems with your login, contact your instructor as soon as possible.
