If it’s your senior year, you’re almost there! Graduation is just around the corner. Have you completed your graduation application yet? Graduation applications are located in MyPortal (JICS) under the Graduation tab, and are due the semester prior to the time you believe you are graduating. This ensures time for your records to be reviewed and approved for graduation. Visit this page for everything you need to know about applying for graduation.
Commencement is our graduation ceremony that takes place each fall and spring semester to celebrate the accomplishment of all our graduates. As long as you submit an on-time graduation application indicating plans to participate in commencement, and your degree progress deems you eligible to participate, you will be permitted to participate in the commencement ceremony. You will receive (a limited number of) tickets to distribute to your friends/family so they can attend the ceremony, and the event is also live-streamed on the SEU website for those unable to attend. Your degree will be conferred once all your final grades have been entered and all non-course degree requirements are met. The Office of the Registrar confers degrees on a regular basis throughout each semester.
After your degree has been conferred, and holds are cleared from your account, you will receive your diploma and an official sealed transcript in the mail! If you have any questions regarding graduation, please email graduation@seu.edu.

The SEU Student Financial Services (SFS) team is here to help make your financial aid and bill payment process as smooth as possible.
Paying Your Bill/Financial Clearance
Being financially clear means that your outstanding balance (any amount that is not covered by financial aid and/or a payment plan) has been paid. Learn about the financial clearance and bill payment process here.
Financial Clearance
The financial clearance process is designed to prepare students for the financial responsibility for the upcoming semester and school year. To be financially cleared, students need to have their upcoming semester’s balance paid out of pocket by the first day of the semester for any balance that is not covered on a payment plan or through financial aid. Students must complete the Pre-Registration Form on My Portal (formerly JICS) each school year. This can be found under the forms tab. Before students can register for classes, they will also need to be sure to complete any financial aid item that is needed and listed on your Financial Aid Portal, or decline their financial aid if applicable before registration is opened. For any additional questions, please feel free to contact Student Financial Services at sitefa@seu.edu.

If you need to take a particular course and it is not being offered on campus or online, and there is not an appropriate course substitution approved by your department chair, you may seek approval for a directed study. A directed study is where you work alone or with a small group of students directly with an instructor (typically in an online modality). The directed study form may be requested by emailing registrar@seu.edu and must be completed with all required signatures before the course can be added to your schedule. Typically, directed study approval is reserved for graduating seniors. Once processed, you will be provided confirmation through your SEU email.
Should you find that you need to change your course delivery status during your time at SEU, you would complete a Change of Status form. This form is located in MySEU and connects you to the proper admissions office as needed. Change of status may only be requested in between semesters, and can change many items connected to financial aid, available majors and courses, as well as billing. We suggest that you speak with an academic advisor and financial aid counselor prior to completing the form. The three current delivery methods that SEU offers include Traditional (Main Campus), Online, and Partner Sites, which are church sites across the U.S.. You are currently enrolled with SEU as a traditional main campus student.
