Incoming Student Checklist

Apply

  1. If you have not yet applied to Seton Hall University, please do so by visiting the Transfer Applicants webpage. There, you can start the admission application and find out more about what you need to hand in.

Send Official Transcripts

  1. Send official transcripts to the Admissions Office at Seton Hall University if you have not already. This official document indicating which courses you are transferring is required to have your credits evaluated. This may take 3 weeks to be processed.

Credit Evaluations and Advising

  1.  After you get your credit evaluation from the registrar's office, please take a moment to explore the Major requirements outlined in the Course Catalog.

This will provide valuable clarity on the courses you'll need to complete as part of your program. An official credit evaluation is necessary for accurate advising. Transfer Admissions will email you a link to schedule your advising appointment.

Students transferring 30 or more credits will meet with an academic advisor within their major, while those transferring 29 or fewer credits will meet with an advisor in the Transfer Center. You do not have to be deposited in order to meet with an advisor, but you should have your credit evaluation.

Advisement appointments start:

  • May 1 for the Fall semester
  • December 1 for the Spring semester

Pay Student Deposit

  1. Once you get your credit evaluation and schedule an appointment through the link provided in the email from Transfer Admissions, you will need to pay the following deposits to register for the upcoming semester. If you are just coming in to talk with an adviser to learn more about a program, the deposit is not required. The deposit payments are only for those who plan to register for classes.

Registration Deposit: $350.00
Housing Deposit: $375.00 (only if you plan to live on campus)

Health Service Forms

  1. Before starting classes you also need to fill out the Health Services Immunization Form, which can be found on the Okta homepage once you sign in to PirateNet. For more information on what is needed, we recommend calling Health Services at (973) 761-9175 or call The Transfer Student Center if you need guidance on how to get to the form through your PirateNet Portal.

  2. Lastly, make sure that all your credits and grades from the courses you completed at your previous school are on the transcript. It is important that the most updated transcript is in Seton Hall's possession, as that ensures your adviser has the most accurate information on your previous school history.

If you have additional questions on the checklist, please contact the Transfer Student Center. We will make sure that you get the information you need to complete the registration process.
