The below steps do not necessarily need to be completed in order, but must be done prior to the start of classes. All steps require you to have your SEU account access set up.
About This Step: New master’s and Doctoral students will need to submit their enrollment confirmation form (ECF) before completing any additional steps. This form confirms that you have decided to enroll in classes, so it officially secures your spot at SEU.
Once you’ve been accepted to SEU.
Visit this page to view instructions for submitting this form and setting up your account access.
About This Step: When you applied to SEU, you were required to submit transcripts. However, if you submitted copies of your transcripts, we will still need the final versions of these transcripts in order to finalize your registration at SEU.* These final transcripts must meet the following requirements.
Upon graduation from college
Follow the transcript request procedures of your prior school(s) and request that your transcripts be sent from your school(s) to SEU via their official process. (This is usually done using an official transcript website, via email to admission@seu.edu, or by mailing the transcript(s) to us.)
This includes college courses which have been taken through dual enrollment or after graduating high school, even if no credit was earned or grades received.
*Note: If you’ve requested that your transcripts be sent to SEU, you can furnish documentation of your request (such as a receipt) while you are waiting for the final copies to be sent. This will allow this Fire Ready step to be marked provisionally complete until the copies are received, and then the system will be updated to fully complete.
About This Step: All students are required to obtain financial clearance before they can be guaranteed their class registration for the upcoming semester. Financial clearance means your anticipated costs for the upcoming semester are fully covered with the use of approved financial aid (including scholarships, grants, and loans) and/or an approved payment plan.
Note: If your program requires in-person residencies, your travel expenses are not included in your tuition or fees.
Once your preliminary bill has been received; the exact timeline of when you will receive your bill will vary depending on how close to the class start date that you registered. Your financial clearance status in the MyPortal (JICS) system will not be current until after your bill is sent.
Visit this page to learn about the Financial Clearance Process.
