If you’re an incoming new student at Saint Paul College, we wish you a warm welcome. We’ll help you submit your application; get reading, math and English placements; declare your major; register for classes; set up tuition payments; and more.

Transfer Student

You may be transferring to Saint Paul College from somewhere else or bringing your credits earned here to a four-year college or university. Either way, our Pathway Advisors are here to help you navigate the transfer.

High School / PSEO

Postsecondary enrollment options (PSEO) allow eligible high school Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors in public, nonpublic, or home schools to take college classes for high school and/or college credits. Best of all, these credits are earned for free.

International Student

Students of every nationality and background are welcome to learn and earn credits here at Saint Paul College. We currently have students from 62 different countries represented on our campus. Because we have guaranteed conditional admissions with other universities, many students begin their studies here for a fraction of the cost and then transfer their credits to a four-year university.

Adult Learner

Being an adult learner returning to college or attending for the first time can be intimidating. But we’re here to make sure the process feels as seamless as possible for you. We’ll make sure you know how flexible your options are for classes and all the additional resources you may find helpful like daycare for your kids.

Take-a-Class or Visiting Student

If you prefer, you are welcome to start by taking a single class to complete a credit, explore an interest, or simply decide if Saint Paul College is right for you. Let’s chat about what you’re looking for and what works best for fitting the course into your schedule.
