Congratulations, you're a Redhawk! We're here to introduce ourselves and give you the resources you need to succeed.

Your journey toward your degree involves learning a lot of new places, faces, terms, and more. We hope you're as excited to be here as we are to have you. There's a lot you can do to make the most of your first year. Let us help you take the next step in your college adventure. 

We'll help you get started finding your flock, speak the SEMO lingo, and figure out who you need to contact when you have a question, need help, or just someone to talk to.

Start Off on the Right Foot

  • Freshman Seminar

    We provide a class that specifically focuses on your transition to the University! First Year Seminar, UI100, allows you to better understand how to juggle the academic demands of college and introduces you to the resources we provide on campus.

  • First Year Leadership

    Our First Year Leadership Program is the best way to explore your leadership strengths and style. FYLP is open to all new students in good standing! 

  • Student Success Seminars

     Our seminars focus on the tools you need to succeed that are not covered in the classroom! This program is sponsored by the Academic Support Center to build skills and provide information for students like you, striving to get the most out of their college experience.

Extended Hours

There's a lot to do when the semester first starts and you've just moved in! We're here to accommodate you. Many of the offices and services around campus extend their hours to make your to-do list easier. Find out which offices and departments have extended their hours - just for you!

Fearless in 4

Move-in, Convocation, and Opening Week are not the end of how you can get to know SEMO. Whether it’s attending a theatre production, playing intramurals, or joining a student organization, take time to explore the variety of programs and events created with you in mind. “Fearless in 4” events appeal to all students from first year to graduate, domestic to international, traditional to non-traditional. We want you to feel comfortable attending any event as you get to know and become a part of the Southeast community.
