~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been admitted.
What is my next step?
If you've not done
so already, please take some time to read our RN to BSN Online
Orientation website and become familiar with Southeast Online and the
services and information available for online degree students. We also
recommend that you read our
Southeast Online Handbook and try our
demonstration course to get the feel for our online classroom
structure. Include your Southeast Student ID number beginning with
"S" and followed by the number 0 on the application to the nursing
department. You will need this ID number to access other aspects of the
university.
As a new transfer
student or a returning student with transfer credit,
your file will be evaluated for precise course transferability. Once
evaluation is complete, the Registrar will mail both you a copy of your
full evaluation and advising information. Once this evaluation process
is complete, you can begin working with an RN to BSN advisor to select
available courses that match your remaining BSN degree requirements and
your personal interests. Before calling an RN advisor please
print off a copy of a detailed degree audit. This degree audit
will show you what has transferred and what you still need to complete a BSN
at Southeast Missouri State University. You nursing advisor cannot accurately
advise you until this analysis is complete.
A
step-by-step guide is
available to walk you through the process.
If you are a
returning student,
please check with Student Financial Services (573.651.2253) before
contacting the nursing advisor for advising and enrollment. If you owe any balance from
your past attendance, you will be prevented from registering until the
amount is paid, and it is better to discover this early in the process
so you have ample time to correct the situation.
Are there any benefits
or restrictions for online degree students?
Online RN to BSN
degree students are those students who have been admitted to the RN to
BSN Program as of fall 2008 or after this time. They are not
permitted to enroll for any other format of course at Southeast except
in rare circumstances when given written approval is received from
the Nursing Department Student Affairs Committee. The RN will need
to present the situation in writing with their assigned academic RN to
BSN advisor, who will decide if this request should be forwarded to
Student Affairs.
As an online degree
student, we will do our best to assist you in registering in your
desired number of hours, but we cannot guarantee availability in your
top choices. For the best selection we highly recommend you
complete your advising and attempt to register on your Priority
Registration Date, which is based upon credit hours completed. If you
cannot secure your full course load or necessary graduation requirements
through open enrollment, please contact your RN to BSN Advisor as soon as possible. The
longer you wait, the fewer options will exist. Enrollment
assistance for online
degree students works on a first-come, first-served basis until
(limited) space
are no longer available. The only way to guarantee a seat in a
specific course is to self-register in it as soon as your priority date
has arrived.
Online students
must have approval from their advisor to take any face-to-face courses
at Southeast.
Please be aware that unauthorized enrollment in non-online courses may
be grounds for dismissal from the online degree track.
How long is a typical course? Can I work at my own pace?
Fall/Spring
Semester:
Full semester (traditional):
16 weeks
1st 8 week and
2nd 8 week
courses are rarely available online.
Summer Semester:
Pre-session: 4 weeks immediately after spring finals
Regular session:
8 weeks in middle of summer
1st 4 week session:
first half of the
regular session
2nd 4 week
session:
second half of the regular session
The pace for each
course is already established, and you will want to check for updates
each day. Our online courses follow the same timeline as their
face-to-face counterparts. You can schedule accordingly and work ahead
as assignments are announced, but you must meet your course deadlines to
receive full credit.
How many hours can I take each semester?
This is a matter I
discuss individually with each advisee. Remember that online courses
require the same amount of work as face-to-face courses, but often in a
different format. Be sure to consider the amount of time spent weekly
between employment, family and recreation. Students can take as little
as one course (3-5 hours) each semester or as many as 18 hours during
the regular fall and spring terms. You must take at least 6 hours to
qualify for your financial aid awards. To be considered full-time,
you must have at least 12 hours for the fall or spring semester. Most
online courses are 3 credit hours.
Fall/Spring semester maximum:
18 hours
Summer semester maximum:
4 hours pre-session
and/or 9 hours regular session (limit one 4 week course at a time)
If your cumulative
(overall) GPA is less than 2.0, then you will be limited to the
following:
Fall/Spring semester maximum:
12 hours
Summer semester maximum:
6 hours total
Students with a GPA under 2.0 will be subject to
suspension from the university unless a 2.0 semester GPA or better is
maintained (i.e. demonstrate you are making progress to remedy the
situation).
How do I activate my Southeast (SE) Key? What if I
lose my password?
To use the student portal site, you must first activate
your SE Key. Go to
portal.semo.edu. Under the login area, click the link for SE Key
Activation. Enter your Southeast ID (SXXXXXXXX) and day and year of
birth to begin the activation process. Be sure you write down your new
SE Key as well as the password you just established. You will use this
information to access all services within the portal, including your
online courses and Southeast email. Your email address will simply be
SOUTHEASTKEY@semo.edu. I also recommend that you set up the Password
Reset Facility in case you forget your new password.
If you have problems in activating your SE Key, please
contact the Information Technology Help Desk at
573.651.4357. If you have activated your SE Key and cannot
remember your password, there is only one way to reset it remotely:
Send a fax to
573.651.2200 of a photo
ID along with your Southeast ID number (SXXXXXXXX), signature, and the
new password you desire. Make sure that your password follows the
established rules (at least 3 of 4 elements from these criteria - upper
case, lower case, symbols, numbers) or Information Technology will be
unable to reset it for you.
My last name has changed since I first attended
Southeast. Can I change my SE Key?
In the event of a
name change, you must first update your record in the Office of the
Registrar. If you unsure of your current status, please visit the
Personal Information menu in the portal to confirm. To update, send a
fax to 573.651.5155 of proof of name change (social security card,
court ordered document, driver's license), your
Southeast ID number (SXXXXXXXX),
your request to update your name, and your signature.
Once your name is
correct in the database, you may then
email Nancy with your old name, your new name and your Southeast ID
number.
I can't access my online course through the My
Southeast portal. What do I do?
The portal has a My
Courses tab for quick, centralized access to all your online courses.
However, this is not the "source" of your websites. Instructors should
list the actual course website in the syllabus at the beginning of the
semester. We recommend that you bookmark or otherwise note these links
at the beginning of each semester in the event of portal maintenance.
You can also search for your course's website by using the search
feature on
Southeast Online's main page. If you access the course directly,
you will need to enter your Southeast Key and password to access any
protected information.
If you find yourself
unable to access the portal or the course website, first double check
your user name and password. You may have accidentally activated the
CAPS lock key or otherwise mistyped your password. The portal will lock
you out after a certain number of incorrect attempts, and you must wait
a short period before trying again.
If you find yourself
able to access the portal, but not the course link/website, check to see
that you are still registered for the course. Students who enter
financial suspension are not permitted to attend class, and if you've
made any recent schedule changes you might have dropped the course by
mistake. Enter the My Southeast Self-Service area of the portal, then
the Registration menu to verify your schedule. If you have difficulty
locating this, please refer to the question on how to add/drop courses
for more information.

Can I take a minor with the BSN degree?
Some minors may be
possible based upon your previous Southeast or transfer credit. Please
check the bulletin for more information on the necessary courses for
each minor and compare with your degree tracking report for initial
information. Please note that a minor requires a set of specific
courses, and simply taking many hours in one subject does not constitute
a minor.
What should I take for
my electives?
You may need upper
division electives specifically for the graduation requirement or any
level electives to fulfill the 120 degree hour requirement. Upper
division electives are courses numbered 300-599. Free electives can be
at any level of your choosing.
What is the WP003 Writing Assessment? How do I register?
The WP003 is a
writing assessment checkpoint that must be passed for graduation. There
is no fee for taking this assessment, but it is required for
graduation. Southeast wants to ensure that all students are maintaining
their writing skills obtained in those initial composition courses.
Upon successful completion of EN140 (English Composition II/Rhetoric and
Critical Thinking) and at least 75 credit hours, you may register for
this assessment. Be sure to click the
CRN link on the class schedule to see which date the
assessment is being offered. New transfer students with more than 90
degree hours completed may be waived from this assessment. You may
contact Marge Phillips at (573) 651-2460 for further assistance with
this.
Scoring criteria,
scoring scales and sample essays are available through the Writing
Outcomes website. If you do not pass the assessment, you must contact
Writing Outcomes and ask to submit a portfolio as your second chance
opportunity. This portfolio option generally occurs over the duration
of the semester with scheduled checkpoints. However, most students pass
the assessment without difficulty.
This assessment may
be completed either online or at a campus convenient to you. If you
wish to take the assessment in person, you must bring two valid forms of
identification - and you may register on open enrollment. If you wish
to take the online assessment, contact me to request registration.
You must be an online degree student to obtain approval for this
section. In the online version, you will be provided a particular
24 hour window in which to take the approximately 2 hour assessment.
Note: the online version is only offered once each fall and spring
semesters.
What is the Career Linkages initiative*
(CL001, CL002, CL003, CL004)? How do I register? If I am not required to
take these, can I still receive career assistance? (*CL001, CL002,
and CL003 are
waived for returning RNs)
The Career Linkages
initiative is a four part sequence designed to assist students with
career planning and goals as they progress to graduation. Thus,
when you graduate with your degree, you will also know how to
effectively market yourself. CL001, CL002, and CL003 are waived for RN to
BSN students as they have already selected their career interests.
However, RNs need to enroll in CL004 when they enroll in NS 480 Nursing
Leadership and Mangement. There is no fee associated with CL004.
Please note:
any student may request individual career planning assistance,
regardless of whether the full CLxxx sequence is required. Please refer
to the Career Linkages frame with the My Southeast Portal, located in
the left column of the Student tab, for more information.
Description of
CL004:
CL004
- Complete
GreatHires.org profile and submit final resume and cover letter for
evaluation, complete mock interviews if appropriate (can be phone
interviews). As an RN you will enroll in CL004 the same semester you
concurrently enroll in NS480 Professional Nursing: Leadership and
Management. A professional portfolio will be developed in that
course to assist you with pursuing a higher nursing degree or another
nursing practice position.
What is the
California Critical
Thinking Assessment (CCTST)? How do I register?
CCTST is another
checkpoint required for graduation which can be taken after the
completion of 75 credit hours. This short assessment will test your
ability to obtain details from given information. Skills such as
deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, inference, analysis and
evaluation will be assessed. There is no certain score to pass, but if
you achieve a score above a certain benchmark, you may have your
graduation fee waived the semester you apply for graduation.
This assessment is
not currently available online. To register and check test locations,
please visit the Testing Services website. If you feel there is not a
location within reasonable distance to you, we may explore options for
securing a proctor at your local high school/college. Contact Lynn
McClain at (573) 651-2837 for further assistance with this. For further
details or to make test arrangements, please contact your advisor.
Am
I required to meet with an advisor?
Initially you need
to contact an RN to BSN advisor by phone for a plan of study. Once
admitted to nursing, you have the flexibility to complete your academic
advising by phone, email or in person. Email is the preferred method as
no appointment is required and both parties then have written records of
the discussion. In order to register in classes each
semester, you must contact your RN to BSN advisor to confirm your plan
of study and degree requirements. At that time your new alternate
PIN number will be given to you that is required to register for
the next semester. Note: if you have
elected to place a confidentiality hold on your account, you are only
permitted to complete your advising through your Southeast Key email.
When/How do I register
for courses? How do I drop a course?
What is the refund schedule?
Course registration
generally begins in the following pattern:
Fall Semester - early April
Spring Semester - early November
Summer Semester - early February
Registration priority is based upon your
completed credit hours on file at Southeast. The earlier you
discuss your course options with me and begin registration, the better
selection of courses you will have available. If you are unable to get
your target number of credit hours or specific requirements for degree
goals, please your advisor as soon as possible. It is not recommended
to add new online courses beyond the 2nd day of the course as not to
risk starting the semester already behind on your assignments. Keep in
mind all schedule changes will affect your textbook rental, and please
take into account the time needed to receive your new book.
Registration opens at
7 am daily and closes
at 9 pm. If you attempt to access the menu outside of this time range,
you will receive a message that misleads you to believe your alternate
PIN is not correct. Please try again during the scheduled hours before
contacting myself or technical support for assistance.
To check course
availability and register, login the My Southeast Portal and choose the
Student tab. Enter My Southeast Self-Service and select the Student and
Financial Aid menu, then choose Registration.
A how-to guide is available to
walk you through the process.
·
To look up course availability,
select Look Up Classes.
·
To register,
select Add or Drop Classes. Select term for which you wish to register
and enter the alternate PIN obtained in your advising session.
If you need to
drop a course,
please check the refund schedule to see what percentage, if any, you
will receive back. Your textbook refund is determined by its postmark
date. Please note that your financial aid could be adversely
affected by dropping a course -- please consult Student Financial
Services before you drop your course. You will need your alternate
PIN for the current semester to be able to drop a course. Simply change
the drop down menu beside the course you wish to drop and submit your
changes. After doing so, the drop down option should disappear and the
course will be designated as dropped within the semester.
How
do I check my progress towards completing the degree?
All students have access to their Degree Audit Report via the Southeast
Portal. You can access your Degree Audit Report online through entering
the Self-Service area and selecting Student & Financial - Records to
determine your individual requirements for the degree. This report
updates live, so any registration changes will be reflected
immediately. You may review or delete previous requests rather than
generating a new report each time you reference it. If you see any
requests that do NOT have a checkbox beside them, these are reports I
have generated for advising purposes. You may only delete the requests
which you made (and likewise for me).
A
step-by-step guide is
available to walk you through the process.
How can I find out if a course I am taking at another college or
university will transfer to Southeast?
Your degree audit will
show what courses you have taken will transfer. However if you
have not taken the course and need to know if a current or future course
you plan to take will transfer, go to
http://www2.semo.edu/registrar/ Then click on Transfer
Course Conversion to find out if a course will transfer.
How can I calculate my potential semester
GPA?
After finding your
attempted hours on your Unofficial Transcripts (Student Records submenu
of Student & Financial Aid within the portal), you can use the following
GPA calculator to play "what if" with your current or future
courses. Any courses starting with the number 0 should not be included
in the calculations (i.e. MA090, CH081, etc).
What does it mean to be
on academic probation?
Students who have a
cumulative GPA under 2.0 ('C' average) are placed on academic
probation. Academic probation students are limited to 12 hours in the
fall or spring or 6 hours in the summer semester. Students must achieve
a 2.0 semester GPA to demonstrate continued improvement or they
will be suspended from the University for one fall/spring semester.
Students who are readmitted after sitting out and who fall on probation
a second time will be disqualified for one full academic year.
Additionally, students on academic probation may find limitations in
regards to available financial aid.
The fastest way to
raise GPA is to repeat courses of 'D' or 'F' grades. Southeast has a
policy of grade replacement, in that only the most recent attempt will
be counted towards your GPA. (All attempts will remain a part of your
academic record, however.)
What
University Studies courses are available online for the upcoming
semester?
Go to
http://online.semo.edu and click on
Browse Online Classes.
How do I know if I meet the pre-requisites for
my courses?
The first step is to
find the course description in either the University Studies Handbook
(only University Studies courses) or the University Bulletin (all
courses). Some courses will not have pre-requisites, while others may
require certain University Studies categories (i.e. Living Systems,
Social Systems, Political Systems) or even specific courses (i.e. SC105,
PS103 or PS104, MA134 and AD101). Still other courses may state junior
standing (60 hours) or senior standing (90 hours) in order to take the
course.
Course levels:
100-200 level
courses are open to all students (if any).
300-500 level
courses are open to students with at least 45 hours completed.
600-700 level
courses are ONLY for graduate students.
800 level courses
are workshops for both undergraduate and graduate students. 800-833 are
open to all students and are considered lower division credit, while
834-866 are open to students with at least 45 hours completed and are
considered upper division credit.
The second step is
to check your Unofficial Transcript in Self-Service. This will show all
courses completed and in progress to help you remember what you have
already taken. If you have credit that is over 10 years old, next check
the title on the needed pre-requisite(s). If you are still uncertain,
you should confirm your selection with me as some course numbers may
have changed since you completed the course (i.e. US101 = US105, MA136 =
MA140, EN150 = EN140).
Note: the
registration system is NOT currently designed to check pre-requisites
except in rare cases. It is your responsibility as a student to make
sure you are not only prepared for your next course, and that you will
not be dropped by the department when they realize you lack the proper
prerequisites. Most departments check rosters in close proximity to the
semester start, and finding a replacement may not be possible that late
into registration.
When/how do I apply for
graduation? If I am not going to the ceremony, do I still need to apply?
Once you have
confirmed remaining requirements with your advisor (and minor if
applicable) and you have registered for all courses, you should download
the graduation application and mail to Registrar's Office. Once you
have applied, all schedule changes will require approval from the
Registrar's Office - and any request for changes will move your
application to the end of the list.
You should apply for
graduation no later than the FIRST day of classes of your LAST
semester. If you are a summer graduate and wish to participate in the
commencement exercises for spring (since there is no summer
commencement), you must apply for graduation no later than the FIRST day
summer registration opens (mid-February). For exact deadlines and dates
for submitting paperwork, please visit the commencement website. If
you have missed the stated deadline, I encourage you to call and/or
submit the paperwork -- if they agree to accept you as a late addition,
a late fee would also apply. The commencement website also has a
very good handout with Senior FAQ and other helpful details for
graduation here.
If you wish to
participate in the ceremony, you must return the appropriate
documents by the deadlines - otherwise, there will be no cap and gown
waiting for you at the Show Me Center! We welcome all online students
to participate in the commencement exercises, especially if this will be
your first visit to our campus!
Even if you do not
wish to participate, you MUST apply for graduation at the proper time.
Otherwise, the Registrar's Office will not know your intentions nor
review your eligibility for graduation. Your degree will not be awarded
and you will not graduate unless you formally apply by the given
deadlines.
How/when do I get textbooks?
Once you have finalized your schedule, you must request
your books at the Textbook Rental website under Textbooks - Textbook
Rental - Web/ITV. The NEW web form is the easiest way to request your
books as it provides a confirmation page for your reference. Your
rental fees and shipping fees will be added to your account balance.
Please note that some courses require additional materials - please
check the supplemental materials link on the rental request page (second
paragraph). These can be purchased from the Southeast Bookstore
website.
All requested textbooks are shipped 1-2 weeks before the
session starts, and arrival time will vary depending upon your distance
from Southeast. You may request your books earlier than this time frame
if it is more convenient for you, but they will not ship until students
have returned the books from current semester. If you did not receive a
confirmation email within 24 hours of submitting your request, please
contact Textbook Rental. There may have been a problem with your
submission.
If you live close to
Cape Girardeau, you are
welcome to pick up your books in person the week before classes begin.
However, you must bring a copy of your schedule
AND a student ID card to receive your books. Keep in mind
that the method by which you receive books is the method by which you
will be responsible for returning them. Students with shipped books
have a "ship by" date, whereas students who arrange to get books in
person have a "received by" date.
How do I get a student ID card?
Beginning Fall 2006, you may request a new Redhawk ID card
using the following procedures:
-
Using a digital
camera, take and save pictures to your computer, CD or Disk
(preferably a CD-RW) in the .jpg format.
-
The individual should
be posed in front of a light colored wall or background, and the
picture should capture the head and shoulders. Please do not wear
sunglasses, hats or other items that obscure the face.
-
On a piece of paper
or in the body of the email, please indicate the following information
as it corresponds with the photo:
-
Last Name
-
First Name
-
Middle Initial
-
SS# or Student ID #
-
If mailing a disk/CD(s),
it should be wrapped in additional padding (sheets of paper, plastic,
bubble wrap, etc.) and enclosed in an envelope with the above
information and mailed to:
ID
Services/Information Desk
Southeast
Missouri
State
University
1 University Plaza,
MS 1175
Cape Girardeau,
MO 63701
-
Please be sure to
include a return address where the completed ID(s), etc. should be
mailed to and a contact name and number for the individual seeking the
ID(s) in case of questions.
If you plan to visit
the main or regional campuses, you can obtain your ID in person.
ALL active students
will need to get a Redhawk ID that reflects your new student ID number
(S0xxxxxxx) for fall 2006 and beyond.
How can I
borrow library books and videos?
Online students
can have books and videos from Kent Library at Southeast Missouri State
University, in addition to books from the state-wide lending program
MOBIUS, shipped to their primary residence free of charge. Each
library item shipped comes with a prepaid return envelope.
Additionally, materials may be picked up at one of the over 60
Missouri libraries in the MOBIUS system.
For more assistance on this process, visit the Kent Library
request tutorial or the MOBIUS request tutorial for more details.
How can I find articles for my class
assignments?
All Southeast
students have access to library subscription databases that can help you
find an article that matches your topic. The library has full-text
access to over 24,000 journals, magazines and newspapers, so you will be
able to get the full-text to many articles with a single click. To
learn more about finding articles, you can complete the
self-paced tutorial Module 4- Finding Articles.
How can I receive
assistance with my writing?
All Southeast students have access to the
Online Writing Lab (OWL). Using OWL, students can submit drafts of
papers for additional feedback and guidance on the drafting process,
walk through writing tutorials to refresh memory or ask individual
questions of the writing staff. Please note that the staff will not
proofread your entire submission, but rather they seek to work with you
in order to teach you how to be a better proofreader as well as clarify
any repetitive errors made. If you utilize this resource, please do so
well in advance of your submission deadline for the course so you have
adequate time for the revision and communication process.
The online submission form will not allow students to
submit documents over 6 pages in length. As an online degree student,
you can still receive assistance with longer submissions. Please
contact the
Writing
Center
through the above link for more information.
What if I need
disability or tutorial
assistance? What is available to me?
The Offices of
Learning Assistance Programs and Disability Student Services provide
both disability and tutorial assistance to Southeast students. Online
students with disabilities may receive assistance by registering with
the office as outlined on their website. Although tutorial assistance
is not available online, online students are welcome to visit them for
face-to-face tutorial services and other learning resources.
Additionally, if you have difficulty in understanding your materials or
assignments, many faculty will answer additional questions via email or
phone - or refer you to additional resources that may assist you in your
studies.
How do I view my bill
