Post-Orientation

Greetings from Your Orientation Leaders!

We certainly hope you enjoyed your orientation and came away with the feeling that our program and resources provided you with an edifying and instructive college experience. If you have any questions, concerns or need additional information don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our university is perpetually creating and improving various programs, buildings, services and traditions which we hope you will take full advantage of while in Mobile. Get stoked about the adventures and opportunities that will open up to you and enrich your life.

Academic Advising and Advisor Search

While meeting with an advisor, a student can discuss educational goals and map out an academic program that will help the student achieve his or her goals.

Paying Your Fees

Learn how fees are collected and financial aid is distributed.

Register for your Parking Permit

All students are being assessed a transportation fee which includes a parking permit for the entire academic year. The parking permit is valid from August to August. Zoned parking will be in effect for Fall and Spring semesters. Students may register for parking permits during the posted dates and times; usually in the weeks before classes begin. Check http://www.southalabama.edu/parkingservices/ for the current schedule.
