Greetings SEE Scholar and Family!
The starting date for the SEE program is fast approaching. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
Orientation
As a part of SEE, Scholars are welcome to participate in Truman Orientation on the Tuesday immediately before Move-In Day. However, alternative dates are available throughout the summer. Parents are not required to attend Orientation but are welcome to attend any or all of the day’s sessions.
Dobson Hall
Students may check in at Dobson Hall on Sunday, July 26 between 8:00 AM and noon. There will be staff members available to check you in and volunteers to help move your belongings into your residence hall room. We will begin orientation at 12:00 pm, so we recommend arriving earlier to give yourself some time to unpack and settle in.
SEE Scholars will be housed in Dobson Hall’s community style rooms during the summer portion of the SEE Program. Dobson Hall has four floors with lounges and kitchens on each floor. Dobson Hall also has computers throughout the building for student use that print to a central location at the Hall Desk. Dobson Hall is equipped with a laundry room and comfortable main lobby. In your room, you will find a desk with shelves and drawers for each person, loft-able beds (homemade lofts are not allowed), one twin-sized mattress per person, a wardrobe for each person, and blinds/shades for each window.
Things to Bring
Because the scholars will be moving to their fall residence halls immediately following the SEE Program, students need to bring everything they may need for the fall semester. This may include, but is not limited to: Linens for a twin-size bed (pillow, sheets, etc.), shower supplies (towels, soap, etc.), alarm clock, telephone, fan, clothes hangers, iron and board, shower curtains (for those in suite style buildings), spending money, bathing suit and an umbrella or raincoat. Students are asked to keep in mind the size of a typical dorm room when they are packing. To review the Residence Hall policies and find a complete list of what items you are allowed to bring to campus, please view the Residence Life Handbook.
We Will Provide:
- SEE folder and notebook
- Calculator
- Software for MATH 156, 157, or 186
Note: There is a Walmart and other local stores where you may purchase room supplies if you prefer to look the room over before deciding what to bring.

Students are not permitted to use their personal vehicles during the SEE Program. The SEE Program will have regular access to University vehicles. Due to liability and University regulations, if a student brings a personal vehicle it will be parked for the duration of the program in a campus parking lot.
Check-out of Dobson Hall
Check-out will begin the Sunday before Move-In Day for Fall Semester, and scholars will move into their assigned residence halls for the remainder of the school year.
Student Expectation and Protocol
We ask that SEE Scholars and a parent/guardian review, sign, and bring the Student Expectation and Protocol form for SEE Move In. We also encourage SEE Scholars to familiarize themselves with the Student Conduct Code.
