Admitted Graduate/Online Student

This gives you single sign-on access to your student email, your financial aid awards and bill, helpful groups and information, and eventually your class schedule and housing assignment and more.
Your preset username and password can be found in an email sent to you when you were accepted, or by contacting your admissions counselor.
For graduate students, be sure to check out the New Graduate Student Group in the Port once you have set up your account.

When course registration opens, your admissions counselor will work with you to choose and register your first-semester courses.

If you have any questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out to your admissions counselor or email [email protected].

The 2026–27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is available to complete for students starting college in fall 2026. Click here to learn more about the FAFSA process and get started.
The financial aid office will use your FAFSA information to put together your financial aid award package with any grants, scholarships, and other aid that you qualify for. We are here to help make Franciscan affordable for you!
Contact [email protected] or your admissions counselor with any questions or needs.

If you submitted a FASFA and have received your award letter, visit the Finances & Accounts tab on your Port account to confirm that you have completed all required forms, including the Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling if you are accepting any federal aid.
Then, accept your awards by clicking on the Accept My Awards button on that page. This is non-binding, and you can adjust this anytime before you pay the bill.
Contact [email protected] with any questions.

If we haven’t received all of your final, official transcripts from a previous institution, please have them sent by mail to the Admissions Office, or electronically to [email protected].

You can pay your balance, set up a payment plan, or send a payee invite through your Online Payment Center on the Financial Aid & Tuition Payments page in your Port account.

Franciscan offers a monthly payment plan option, which allows you to spread your semester over several payments instead of paying one lump sum.
Fall bill due: July 15
Spring bill due: December 15
Summer bill due: First day of class

You can order your textbooks starting 1–2 months prior to the start of each semester and have them shipped directly to your home address.
Please note:

• Graduate students are automatically opted out of Slingshot Textbooks. If you would like to use their services, you must opt-in through your account. If not, you can view your required textbooks in your account and order them independently.
• Undergraduate Online students are automatically opted in to Slingshot Textbooks. If you prefer to purchase your textbooks on your own, you may opt out through your Slingshot account.

All new online students are automatically registered for UNV 800, our online orientation course.

This is a no-credit, optional course designed to help you confidently navigate the Port and Canvas, connect with other new online students, and prepare for a successful start to your first semester.
