Please click on the links below to learn more about the resources offered at Shenandoah University!
The Office of Financial Aid can help families find the resources they need to make the cost of a private university education affordable. Costs are often met by combining the resources of parents and students as well as state, federal, and outside sources.
After you receive and review your full financial aid package, accept it in Hornet Hub online by June 1. The earlier this is completed, the smoother the process becomes. For complete Shenandoah University financial aid information visit Financial Aid.
If you haven’t already, please apply for financial aid by completing the 2022-23 Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Once you complete the FAFSA, the Office of Financial Aid will evaluate your financial aid eligibility and provide you with a full financial aid package.

Residential living is often one of the most dynamic parts of a student’s university experience. First and second-year students are required to reside in campus housing and we have various types of living styles to support our residents throughout their entire academic career. From first-year to graduate students, our residence halls are designed to meet the unique needs of each population. Please take some time to explore our First-Year Housing and Upperclassmen Housing.
New students can apply for housing starting March 23:
Shenandoah University On-Campus Housing Application
For full consideration, you must apply for housing by Friday, June 4, 2022, and students will receive their housing assignments around July 15, 2022.
Questions about housing? Contact the Office of Residence Life at 540-665-4611 or reslife@su.edu.
Submit your final, official transcript(s), as well as any official AP, IB Higher-level, or CLEP test scores you may have earned to the Office of Admissions.
All Shenandoah University first-year students are required to take a Going Global: First-Year Seminar (FYS) course in the fall semester. In this course, you will engage in interactive learning and discussions about global topics from multiple perspectives. You will receive the First-Year Seminar Choices information via email in late May.
Course topics cover a broad range for example, “Sports as a Political Tool”, “Ghost Stories and Legends”, “Please Accept Me for Who I Am”, to “The Walking Dead”. All classes focus on a global theme, are small in size, and are challenging and highly interactive. There are over 15 different courses to choose from! You must register your choices by July 2.
Academic success is related to your overall health, and the Wilkins Wellness Center is your one-stop hub for health and counseling services. Required health forms and insurance information must be submitted by
August 1, 2022.
Shenandoah University Health Form
All students who are registered for 7 credit hours or more are required to submit a completed health form to the Wellness Center. All health forms can be found at www.su.edu/healthforms.
A photocopy of all immunizations documents can be uploaded to the su.studenthealthportal.com
All Nursing, Graduate Health Professions and Pharmacy students, NCAA Athletes, and students living in campus housing are required to submit a health form regardless of credit hours enrolled for the academic year.
Online/distance learning students are exempt except for online Health Care Professional – Nursing and Pharmacy students.
The health form can be mailed or delivered to the Wellness Center. We will be collecting forms during New Student Orientation, but we encourage you to utilize the su.studenthealthportal.com to submit all required forms.
All students listed above are required to have health insurance. The insurance must cover you in Virginia. The insurance verification or purchase must be completed online.

All new Shenandoah students are registered for their initial classes by the University Advising office. Academic advisors register students based on their major, curriculum course requirements and course availability. Students will receive their course schedule for the Fall 2022 semester at Summer Orientation. Those who are unable to attend Summer Orientation will have their course schedule emailed to them by their academic dean’s office after July 15. Students who wish to make changes to their schedule are able to do so during Welcome Week and the add/drop period.
After the first semester at Shenandoah, students are responsible for their own course registration with their specific academic advisor in their major.
