Online Course General Information
Generally, Southeastern online courses follow the same semester schedule as traditional on-campus courses. For specific course start and end dates, consult the current class schedule. 

Southeastern Online courses use Blackboard for content delivery and course management.

Since Online courses are completed at the home computer, students must meet minimum hardware & software requirements.  For details, click the link below.

Online Course Enrollment Information
Admission & Enrollment
Students who are attending Southeastern for the first time and those who are returning after an absence of one of more semesters should go to the Office of Admissions and Enrollment Services for final admission approval and assignment of an advisor.  Students who are enrolled continuously at Southeastern should see their advisor first. 

Starting the Course
Once enrolled in an online course, it is the student's responsibility to log into Southeasten Blackboard to begin the course.  Usually, online courses will be available on the first day classes.  If you wish to contact your instructor with questions about the course, check your Statement of Account via CampusConnect (http://www.se.edu/campusconnect/) or this website (http://www.se.edu/de) prior to the start of classes for instructor contact information.  You can also browse the Campus Directory found at http://www.se.edu/directory/ for Southeastern Faculty email addresses.  Please note, instructor information is subject to change.

Log-on or Drop
It is the student's responsibility to log-on to the course and participate. The instructor may label any student a “NO SHOW” and remove them from the course site if the student does not log-on to the online course within the first week of classes; however, this does not change the student's official enrollment. Students must process a "Change of Enrollment" form in the Registrar's Office to officially drop the course from their schedule. Deadlines for dropping classes are listed in the current Schedule of Classes.
