Southeastern Louisiana University delays start of classes

Southeastern Louisiana University has postponed the start of classes for the fall semester to Monday, Aug. 22, due to widespread flooding and its impact on students, faculty and staff.

Originally scheduled to start classes Wednesday, the university has also extended deadlines for financial aid, course selection and payment of fees. The extended fee payment deadline and final move-in date for campus housing is Friday. Students impacted by flooding should contact studentaccounts@southeastern.edu or universityhousing@southeastern.edu to request additional time.

The Hammond, Louisiana campus is open and all services are available for students. The campus and Hammond area have emerged from the flooding largely unscathed. Students who were able to travel started checking into their residence halls on Sunday.
