Yes, one of the requirements for admission to Motion Interns and Southeastern as an undergraduate student is that you claim Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We understand that all Christians are at different points in their walk with Christ, but all our students should have made a commitment to follow Christ before attending our program.

Motion Intern Students live at church-owned housing at our Puyallup Campus. Motion Church owns a set of duplexes, as well as six houses that serve as student dorms.

Motion Interns housing policy is that all students live at the program dormitories. Students are actively involved in a number of different ministries, and this allows all of our students to create and participate in a healthy community experience.

Motion Church is a regional extension site of Southeastern University. SEU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097 or call 404.679.4500 for questions about the accreditation of Southeastern University.

Absolutely! We encourage our students to get part-time jobs. There is enough room in the schedule of Motion Interns to maintain a stable part-time job, and we have many students that take advantage of this opportunity.

Motion Intern students have a sabbath on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday-Sunday there are intern responsibilities, as well as their classwork done through Southeastern University.

Every student automatically receives a reduced tuition rate from Southeastern University. On top of this, students are eligible to apply for government assisted financial aid (FAFSA). For more information and to apply, you can go to their website HERE.

Our schooling comes 100% from Southeastern University, so you will use their school code when applying for Financial Aid. The SEU school code for FAFSA purposes is 001521.

Students will work with Southeastern University when paying off the balance of their tuition. SEU partners with Tuition Management Systems to offer a payment plan for school expenses in a given year that can be spread over 10 or 12 months, depending on the first date of payment. The plans do not charge interest, only a $70 annual fee to enroll. For more details about payment plans, visit click here or call 800.722.4867.

Motion Interns considers many aspects of a student’s academic and personal background when deciding admission status. We require a GPA of at least 2.0, but students who have a lower GPA can submit a special appeal to be considered for admission. The average student at SEU has a GPA above 3.0. No applicant will be denied admission to Motion Interns on the basis of race, color, sex, nationality or ethnic origin. Motion Interns does not discriminate against individuals with physical or mental disabilities who are otherwise eligible for admission to the university.

You are considered a transfer student if you have taken 12 or more college credit hours after high school graduation. We still require high school transcripts. Credits with the grade of “C” or higher, earned at an institution accredited by a regional accrediting association, are transferred on an unconditional basis, with the exception of developmental, vocational, technical or occupational courses. Once admitted to SEU, a student can request a transcript audit in order to know what his or her courses are substituting for. Students who wish to transfer credits from a nonregionally accredited school may petition the Office of the Registrar for an exception to the policy by requesting their credits be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.

Our undergraduate priority deadline is May 1, and the deadline to receive a refund for your enrollment deposit is July 1.
