Register for Classes

Suggested Timeline: October 20

This is the earliest that you can register, and it allows you to find the most options for classes that will work with your schedule.

Apply for
Financial Aid

Suggested Timeline: December 10

We recommend starting this process earlier than this date, if possible, so that you have time to understand the FAFSA application. Submitting the FAFSA application by this date allows it to arrive at Saint Paul College in time for the Tuition Deadline. If you do your Financial Aid after this date there still may be funds available, however, you may have a reduced Financial Aid award or your award may not be ready in time for the start of the semester.

Tuition Deadline

Suggested Timeline: December 17

Having a form of payment on file secures your place in your classes. You may be removed from your classes if you do not have one of the following on file by this deadline:

 – A Payment Plan or full payment

Order Books

Suggested Timeline: December 1 to January 23

Ordering books during this period allows you to charge $300 (or more if you have Financial Aid on file) while you are waiting for your Financial Aid to process. If you miss this date you can still order your books, you may just have to pay for them out-of-pocket.
