In order to alleviate some of the traffic and lines, please plan to arrive during your designated check-in time. Remember, you must be Fire Ready to get a check-in appointment.
Students who are Fire Ready will receive an email from our Housing department with a link to set up a check-in appointment. Check in times will be available by dorm, with different dorms checking in on different days. If you do not receive an email, please contact us at studenthousing@seu.edu.
Once you arrive to campus, if you know you are “Fire Ready” please proceed to the appropriate residence hall first. All students who are NOT “Fire Ready” must report to the Student Activities Center first.
Early arrivals are only permitted for designated groups and athletic teams. Students in these predetermined groups will receive specific instructions regarding their check-in. Early arrival check-in days and times will still be by appointment only. Please check your SEU email for more information.
Please remember to continually check your SEU email account for updates. We can’t wait to have you on campus!
