Submit your Enrollment Confirmation Form

About This Step: New partner site 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 as a student at your SEU partner site. 

Once you’ve been accepted for admission to your SEU partner site.

Visit this page to view instructions for submitting this form and setting up your account access.

After you have confirmed your enrollment with SEU; in general, the earlier you register, the more class choices you will have. Some online classes are available starting every 8 weeks or every 16 weeks, while others may only have selected start dates each year.

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.

IMPORTANT!

Your class registration is not guaranteed until you are financially cleared.

Submit all Final High School/College Transcripts

If you are transferring in less than 60 college credits

  • No “in progress” grades
  • Graduation date listed

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.

Upon enrolling at SEU; whether it is after graduation from high school, when transferring from another college, or after a break in your education (such as starting college for the first time or returning to college to complete your degree).

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. Homeschooled students, visit this page for details and procedures.)

*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.
