The earlier this document is submitted, the smoother the progress becomes. For complete Shenandoah University financial aid information visit Financial Aid.

If you haven’t already, please apply for financial aid by completing the 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 listing the resources available.

All new Shenandoah students are registered for their initial classes by their academic dean’s office. Academic offices register students based on their major, curriculum course requirements and course availability. Students who wish to make changes to their schedule are able to do so during Welcome Week and the drop/add period. Course schedules are given to students who attend Summer Orientation. Students who are not able to attend Summer Orientation will have their course schedule emailed to them after July 15 by their academic dean’s office.

After the first semester at Shenandoah, students are responsible for course registration with their specific academic advisor.

Orientation sessions are designed to meet the needs of families and transfer students. During your one-day session, you will have the opportunity to meet current and incoming students, receive your official student ID cared and receive your Fall class schedule. Information sessions will be offered for families as incoming students are immersed in activities that will show them the inside world of being a student at Shenandoah University. The day will end with an information fair that will allow families and students to see all about our wonderful community of Winchester, VA.

The entire staff here at Shenandoah University awaits your arrival here on campus and looks forward to meeting all of you this summer at one of our Orientation sessions. We can’t wait to show you all the exciting things that are in store for you here at Shenandoah University!
