Wednesday, November 18, 2009 QUESTION:I heard that a Southeast student died last week of H1N1. Is this true? RATING: false
RESPONSE: While several Southeast students have had confirmed cases of Influenza A, no Southeast student has died of H1N1.
Thursday, October 22, 2009 QUESTION:I heard that if your grades are good enough, SEMO will allow you to live off-campus your second year rather than the dorms and that they send you a letter during the summer or at the end of the school year telling you whether or not you can live off campus. RATING: more true than false
RESPONSE: The sophomore residency exception is an academic exemption based on academic effort during the first year at Southeast Missouri State University. Student’s wishing to be considered for the sophomore exemption should contact the Office of Residence Life at the beginning of the spring semester. The criteria includes a semester grade point average of 3.25 or better, enrollment in 15 or more credit hours for the fall semester, enrollment in 15 or more credit hours in the spring semester, and no previous student conduct incidents. Students on scholarships may not be eligible for the sophomore exemption if the condition of their scholarship is they live on campus for two years. Contact the Office of Residence Life for more details concerning your eligibility. As the sophomore exemption is based upon a student’s academic success while living in the residence halls, transfer credits, and transfer grades point averages are not considered. In addition all necessary grade point average and credit hour completion must be done during the academic year. Summer course work will not be considered. In regard to the sophomore residency exemption, though, the University does not send letters to students to let them know they are eligible for the exception.
