A sixth lodge will be built in August 2013 at IU Southeast to accommodate more students who want to live on campus. Currently, there are no vacancies in IU Southeast’s five other dorms. “We have space for 399 students to live on campus,” Jen Crompton, assistant director for Residence Life and Housing, said. “The new building will most likely be the same size as our larger buildings — Meadow, Orchard and Woodland — so it will hold 87 students.”

Due to the recent campus enrollment increase this semester, some students signed up for a waitlist when registering for their classes. However, IU Southeast is looking to expand the waitlist for future semesters. Brittany Hubbard, director of Financial Aid and interim director of the Academic Success Center, said when the waitlist program was first implemented, it was very successful.
