Request that official transcripts be sent to SHU from all previous colleges and universities you have attended. You may submit unofficial transcripts in the meantime for a preliminary review your application and to create a credit evaluation, but official transcripts with final grades must be submitted before credits will be entered in SHU’s system.
Request that your official high school transcript or GED be sent to SHU.
Request that official AP Exam scores of 4 or 5 be sent to SHU.
Request SHU's Conduct Record Release Form be completed and returned from any/all colleges or universities you have attended previously.
You have the option to submit one letter of recommendation from a professor, counselor, advisor or employer.
Submit the non-refundable $50 application fee via the SHU website (if applying via the Sacred Heart University application) or online (when submitting your Common Application) or by check payable to Sacred Heart University).

Submission of SAT/ACT scores is not required.
