Bison Bound - New Student Orientation
Bison Bound is the official new student orientation of Southern Union State Community College for first-time students (excluding Dually Enrolled, Transfer, and Transient students) entering Southern Union for Fall 2024. New students, and up to two of their guests, may participate in a day of interactive informational sessions, parent and student panels, and of course new student registration!
