Beginning FreshmenAdmission to Southeast is based on a combination of the highest ACT or SAT score and the cumulative high school grade point average.

ACT Composite SAT (CR+M) Cumulative HS GPA

on a 4.0 Scale21 or 980 and 2.0020 or 940 and 2.5019 or 900 and 2.5018 or 860 and 2.75

In addition to meeting the test score and GPA requirements, applicants must complete a minimum of 17 units of high school core curriculum (year-long classes), as follows:

✔ English – 4 units (two emphasizing composition or writing skills; one may be speech or debate)

✔ Mathematics – 3 units (Algebra I, Algebra II/Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry or Calculus)

✔ Social Studies – 3 units (one unit of American history and one semester of government required)

✔ Science – 3 units (not including general science; selected from biology, chemistry, physics, botany, zoology or anatomy and physiology; one must be a lab course)

✔ Visual/Performing Arts – 1 unit (art, dance, music or theatre)

✔ Additional – 3 units (foreign language and/or a combination of two or more from the above areas)

Note: If your school does not have a 4.0 scale, convert your GPA to a 4.0 equivalent by multiplying your GPA by four and dividing that number by the scale your school uses. Example, a 4.38 GPA on a 5.0 scale converted GPA equivalent is 3.5 [(4.38x4)/5=3.50].

Residence Halls Living in the residence halls contributes to your overall education. Research demonstrates that students who live on campus do better academically and rate their college experience as more satisfying. Southeast’s campus includes 11 residence halls, whether you are interested in community-style or suite-style housing. www.semo.edu/housing

After admission to the University, complete the Contract for University Housing online via the process outlined in your admission materials. A $150 housing deposit is required. Enrollment at Southeast continues to grow. As a result, the residence halls at Southeast will reach their full capacity by June 1. The priority housing deadline is December 15. Due to space limitations, submitting a housing contract by this date does not guarantee that students will be placed in their choice of housing. The fall semester admission deadline is June 1 for students required to live in on-campus housing. Students who apply after this date, and are required to live on-campus, may be deferred to the following spring semester.

residency requirement Living on campus is an important part of the col-lege experience. Southeast requires that all full-time students live on campus for two years (four semesters) unless they meet one of the following criteria:✔ Living with parent(s) or legal guardian(s)

and commuting from their residence within a reasonable distance (50 miles) of Cape Girardeau

✔ At least 21 years of age by the beginning of the semester for which they are enrolled

✔ Military veteran✔ Completed 57 credit hours accepted by the

University toward earning a degree from Southeast. Credit hours must be earned as of the beginning of the year for which the release is requested.

✔ Married and/or have dependent children in residence

opEnED 2009

Learning Communities Students with similar interests or courses may be grouped in residential learning communities such as:

✔ Business✔ Education✔ Jane Stephens Honors Program✔ Sciences✔ Transfer (45 or more credit hours)✔ Visual and Performing Arts

Jane Stephens Honors Program The Jane Stephens Honors Program offers oppor-tunities tailored to the aspirations and motivations of students with intellectual and creative abilities, underscoring Southeast’s commitment to leadership. Honors credit may be earned by taking honors courses in the University curriculum or by completing honors contracts for courses taught by honors faculty. The honors community in Vandiver Hall allows contact and support from other honors students, combined with the diversity of living in a large residence hall. For more information, call (573) 651-2513. www.semo.edu/honors

in Missouri.
