International Students

Whether you’re new to campus or have been studying in the United States for a while, the International Students Office is here to provide you with information and services to help you acclimate to life in the United States, become comfortable in your new campus home and maintain your F-1 status. We believe our international community enhances the overall atmosphere, and we are here to serve you!

As a new international student, you’ll face a wide spectrum of customs, rules and procedures that are unfamiliar to you. Part of our mission is to help you face those challenges and adapt to your new way of life. You’re welcome to stop by our office at any time with your questions, or even just to let us know how you’re doing. We’re located on the first floor of Addison Hall in room 113. If you have in-depth questions or need help with paperwork or forms, please call or email first so we can schedule the time needed (please refer to the office hours posted on the right side of this page).

Together with our student leaders, we plan several events each semester that give you opportunities to get to know fellow international students, other students in our community and Southeastern University staff and faculty.

We also provide you with many of the necessary forms you’ll need during your studies at Southeastern. To download a form, please see below.
