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.
SEU offers three distinct learning delivery methods: Traditional (Main Campus), Online, and Partner Sites (church sites across the U.S.). Should you decide to change your delivery method (e.g., switching from Online to Main Campus, or Partner Site to Online), you must submit a formal request.
How to Access the Form:
Timing & Processing: You may submit a Change of Status request at any time during the semester. However, if it past the add/drop deadline for the beginning of the semester and you are enrolled in courses, it will not be processed until end of the current semester.
Important Considerations: Changing your delivery method effectively changes your program and will significantly impact your billing, financial aid, and degree requirements. We strongly suggest speaking with your Academic Advisor and Financial Aid counselor prior to submitting the form.
Next Steps: Once your form is reviewed, the Admission office will contact you with the specific steps required to re-apply for your new program/delivery method.
Planning for the Finish Line… Whether you are beginning your freshman year or transferring in to finish your degree, it is important to know how to cross the finish line.
Who needs to apply? for graduation? Students completing any degree program (an Associate/AA degree or a Bachelor’s degree) must submit a formal graduation application to receive their diploma.
When do I apply? You must apply during the semester prior to the time you plan to graduate.
Application Deadlines:
Where to Apply? Applications are located in MyPortal (JICS) under the Graduation tab. This application alerts our team to review your records and approve you for graduation.
Commencement Ceremony: Commencement takes place each fall and spring to celebrate our graduates. As long as you submit an on-time application and meet eligibility requirements, you will be invited to participate! Graduates receive tickets for friends and family, and the event is live-streamed on the SEU website. Visit this page for more information.
Degree Conferral & Diplomas: Your degree will be “conferred” (officially awarded) once your final grades are entered and requirements are met. After conferral, you will receive your diploma and may request a copy of your official transcript.
If you have questions about your timeline, please contact your Academic Advisor or email advising@seu.edu.
Visit this page for more information about transfer credit policies and processes.
Once your transfer documents are received from Admissions, our Transcript Evaluation team will automatically begin the review process. You will be notified via email at two key stages:
