New Student Checklist

Your Transition-to-Boyce Checklist

  • Check Your Student Email Daily. Your student email is your main source of communication from Boyce. Check it daily for timely information about campus-wide news, events, and opportunities. Sign in to your student email here. If you forget your email address or password, check your acceptance letter or contact Campus Technology (campustechnology@sbts.edu; 502-897-4006).

 

  • Apply for Housing. You can submit your housing application online ($25.00 application fee). All single Boyce students under the age of 22 are required to live on campus. If you qualify for an exemption to our housing policy, you need to fill out the residential exemption request form.

 

  • Register for a Move-In Time and New Student Orientation.
    • Spring New Student Welcome Day: Saturday, January 20th – Register here.
    • Fall Move-In and Orientation: Dates coming soon!

 

  • Register for Classes (if you haven’t yet) and Recheck Your Class Schedule. My.sbts.edu is your one-stop-shop for all academic information. Log in (using the username and password you received in your acceptance email) to register for your classes. Make sure to complete the Student Information Form first so you can register! If you have not already, you are strongly encouraged to schedule a meeting with your Academic Advisor here. 
    • Check this form for updated registration dates.

 

  • Fill Out your New Student On-Boarding Forms. All main-campus students are required to submit an “Authorization of Release of Information” and “Health Information Privacy” form prior to Orientation. Log into your application portal to access and fill out the forms.

 

  • Submit a Photo for Your Student ID. We encourage all students to submit a photo for your student ID so that it is ready when you check in. Follow the instructions on this webpage carefully to ensure that your ID is waiting on you when you arrive.

 

  • Apply for Financial Aid. Financial Aid is available to full-time residential students in good academic standing. Learn more and apply for aid here.
    • Fall Deadline: July 1st
    • Spring Deadline: January 1st

 

  • Look for Employment.  Visit the SBTS employment page for current opportunities and application materials for on-campus jobs. For off-campus jobs, check the weekly Employment Bulletin here (you must first be logged into your student email to view it).

 

  • Review Fee Schedule and Important Dates.
    • Log into my.sbts.edu to review the fee schedule.

Non-SBC students seeking to obtain the SBC tuition rate after their first semester should submit the Membership Verification Form via email to admissions@sbts.edu. This form must be returned to the Admissions Office before the first day of the term to which the tuition change will apply.
