Fall 2021 New Student Orientation

August 13-15 2021

This year’s CAMP SE is combining with the Big BLUE Experience for one over-the-top New Student Orientation event!

Camp SE is a New Student Orientation held in August before classes begin. It is a great way for incoming students to get to know the University. For over 20 years, the orientation tradition has provided students with an opportunity to meet other students and transition into the college environment. All new students are required to attend Camp SE.

The Big BLUE Experience is not just a summer orientation camp. It’s the beginning of a relationship between new students and Southeastern Oklahoma State University. While the Big BLUE Experience is a great way for students to learn the ins-and-outs of life at SE, our primary goal is that every camper leaves the Big BLUE Experience feeling they have been connected with a vital support system to help them succeed.

Students will be charged a $30 non-refundable registration fee to attend New Student Orientation.

Registration Deadline: August 6, 2021
