Each language course is equivalent to two semesters of study, carrying one full year of academic credit. Instruction is provided in small individualized groups taught by a team consisting of a coordinator (generally a linguist specializing in Southeast Asian pedagogy) and trained native speakers of the languages. Classes meet four and half hours a day in the mornings, Monday through Friday.

Please check with the University of Oregon's Southeast Asian Studies Department as the the deadline for application. The financial aid deadlines are listed under the Financial Aid section.

Housing

SEASSI 97 Student Housing Update


A SEASSI housing and meal plan package is available for ASU residence halls with prices based on double occupancy. SEASSI students and faculty are encouraged to live on campus to promote relationships with others interested in Southeast Asia.

On-Campus

This year, SEASSI will work with Conference Housing to offer dormitory rooms to students who wish to reside on campus. The cost will be $20.00 per night per room, based on double occupancy ($ 10.00 per student per night, or $ 630 for nine weeks, or $ 700.00 for ten). Some singles will be available for $ 15.00 per night per student, but supply is extremely limited and securing one will require early payment. Rooms will contain two beds, desks, chairs, and linens.

For those who want to reserve a room for this summer, a deposit of $ 200.00 is required by April 15. The remaining balance will be due by June 2. Please note that these dates are different from the SEASSI application due dates. Please make out deposit checks or money orders to "SEASSI-ASU (Housing)." For the remaining balance, only money orders will be accepted.

Off Campus

The ASASU office is the University's off-campus housing office. It provides information about rental housing, listings of people needing roommates, and sublets. The number for this office is (602) 965- 6246.

Students interested in living off campus should be aware that most off-campus students either walk, bike, or bus to campus.

On-Campus Parking

For those SEASSI students staying on campus, a parking pass is available for the summer for $ 10.00. Visitor parking is availablefor $3.00 (some lots are $4.00) per day, Mondays through Fridays. SEASSI participants interested in on-campus parking should note that ASU will begin taking applications for parking on Monday, April 14, 1997. On-campus parking is extremely competitive, so it is wise to act early. Decal Sales, Parking and Transit Services, is located in The Towers at 5th Street, Tempe, AZ 85287-5205 and their number is (602) 965-6124.
