Activate Your Bryn Athyn Email Account: Shortly after you deposit, we’ll set up your account and send you instructions to activate it.  We will begin communicating with you through your Bryn Athyn email account about orientation and registration requirements soon.

Sign up for Orientation and RegistrationStudents enrolling in the Winter and Spring terms: orientation takes place just before the start of classes. Fall students: New Student Sessions (summer orientation) for the fall term will take place over the summer, and will be followed by an individual advising meeting with your academic advisor. Welcome Week (pre-classes orientation) will take place just before classes begin. The Advising Office will send details in June.

Placement Exams:

  • Writing: Students with SAT Reading scores below 450 are automatically enrolled in Writing 100 and must pass Writing 100 before taking Writing 101. All admitted students who do not submit SAT readings scores will be given a voucher from the admissions office to take an online WritePlacer assessment, which must be completed before course registration to ensure appropriate course placement. 
  • Mathematics: Students with SAT Math scores below 500 must take Math101. In some cases, students may be encouraged by their advisor or the math department to take Math095 in preparation for Math101. Students may bypass Math101 if they have SAT Math scores of at least 500, have transferred in a course that is counted at the 100 level or higher (Math1xx), or have a sufficient score from the in-house math placement test. If SAT scores have not been submitted, the in-house math placement test is required before registration.

Send us your final transcript: Official transcripts of all high school and college work in progress at the time of your admission, including certification of any diplomas, must be received so that we may confirm your enrollment in the fall. Deadlines: Winter term: November 15; Spring term: March 1; Fall term: August 1

Finalize your financial plan:  If you are receiving financial aid, the Financial Aid Office may request additional information from you. Please review your financial aid award letter and checklist on your student portal. After you receive your bill, the bursar will work with you to establish a payment plan for any portion of your bill not covered by financial aid.

Pay your first term bill: Your term bill will be sent as follows:

  • Fall students: Before July 31, 2024
  • Winter students: your term bill will be sent in early November;
  • Spring students: Early March.

Your bill will reflect all financial aid and scholarships you’ve received. You can even set up a convenient 10-month payment plan. The bursar will work with you to ensure your financial arrangements are in place in time to pay your bill.

Payment Due Date: Two weeks before the start of the term.

For students living on campus: See "Resident Student" next steps below, including Housing Security Deposit, Roommate Questionnaire, and packing list suggestions.

Many doctors’ offices schedule appointments several weeks or even months in advance. Students who are unable to schedule an appointment before the June 15th deadline could instead contact their current physician’s office and ask the office to fill in the immunization history on Bryn Athyn College’s medical form. Physicians’ offices are usually able to do this in less than a week. Once the immunization information is entered on the form by the physician’s office a student may use a service such as a “CVS Minute Clinic” to complete the remaining physician’s portion of the medical form. The cost for this service at a minute clinic or similar service is usually in the range of 50-80 dollars.
