SEU Mobile Apps and Tech Requirements
Download the Topper Safe app and Hilltopper Card Mobile Credential. These apps will really help you stay updated on the newest information, access university buildings and pay at participating campus venues. You should also have the equipment listed in the Minimum Tech Requirements sheet.
Submit Vaccinations and Health Insurance
The university requires a bacterial meningitis vaccine (or exemption) for every student — whether living on or off campus. Read more about exemption Information and meningitis requirements. For the Fall 2025 semester, students will automatically be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan unless a waiver is received by Sept. 9, 2025. Those failing to meet this deadline will be billed for the university-sponsored health insurance.
