For Admitted UCAP Students

Join our campus community for personal support as you finish your degree.

Congratulations! You've been admitted to Ursuline, but what happens next? Review the steps below to make sure your transition to Ursuline goes smoothly. To check your personal progress on many of these steps, log into your Admitted Student Portal.

Submit your deposit. 

If you're ready to move forward with the next steps at Ursuline, submit your Commuter Deposit ($100) here. Your deposit officially kicks things off at Ursuline! This deposit will be applied to your first tuition statement.

Submit your FAFSA.

• Submit your FAFSA as early as possible to determine your grant and loan eligibility. To ensure Ursuline’s Financial Aid office receives your FAFSA, be sure to include Ursuline College on the ‘School Selection Page’ (code 003134). To see if Ursuline has received your FAFSA, visit your Admitted Student Portal. 

Connect with your personal admission counselor to register for classes.

Contact Kate Teichman, Assistant Director of Admission at 440-646-8360 or Kathleen.Teichman@ursuline.edu to select and to register for your classes.  You can also schedule your orientation session when you register.

Check your technology requirements.

All students in online majors (UCAP) must have consistent access to a computer and internet to complete class assignments. Additionally, some majors require access to a webcam and a microphone for synchronous classes. Be sure to review Ursuline's Technology Requirements for important information on computer operating system requirements and compatibility. Contact your admission counselor with any concerns about the technology requirements in advance of your first online courses.

Login to your accounts.

Within 72 hours of your deposit being received, you will receive instructions on how you can login to your Ursuline accounts. Once you've successfully logged in, be sure to regularly check your Ursuline accounts, especially your Ursuline email account, for important information. If you have difficulty logging into any of your Ursuline accounts, please contact our IT department for assistance. 

Register for your personalized virtual orientation.

At least two weeks before your classes start, please register for your virtual orientation session here. Attending orientation ensures you have a smooth transition to Ursuline College!

Complete your New Student Online Experience (NSOE) in D2L

• The New Student Online Experience (NSOE) is your virtual introduction to Ursuline College. This online course will serve as a resource to all things Ursuline. 
• The NSOE covers relevant information to a successful start at Ursuline. Completion of the NSOE is required for all incoming students and a certificate of completion is required to begin classes. The course will take about 2.5 hours to complete but it is designed to be viewed in pieces. No need to do everything all at once!

Submit your final official college transcripts to the Processing Center

Submit all official transcripts – If you were admitted ‘provisionally,’ you’ll need to send us official undergraduate transcripts from ALL colleges and universities previously attended. Official transcripts must be sent directly to Ursuline and can be mailed to Ursuline College (Attn: Processing Center 2550 Lander Rd., Pepper Pike, OH 44124)  or emailed to processingcenter@ursuline.edu

Additionally, after your official transcripts arrive, you will receive an official notification that your credit audit has been completed by our credit evaluator. 

Feel free to explore your transfer equivalents at Transferology.com. For an unofficial Ursuline credit evaluation, schedule a call with your UC admissions Counselor. 

Finalize your payment options. If using financial aid, upon completion of your FAFSA, you can expect to receive an award letter within 2-3 weeks.

• If you are using military benefits, contact our Associate Registrar at 440-646-8128 to ensure we have everything needed to process your benefits.
• If you will be paying out-of-pocket, and want to set up a monthly payment plan, contact our Financial Aid Office at 440-646-8312 to discuss your options.
