Spring Transfer Student Guide

Take a moment to enjoy this accomplishment of continuing your college education! We can’t wait to welcome you to campus. Check out our visit opportunities – including tours specifically for transfer students.

Using the credentials on your acceptance letter, log in to your Eastern portal. Throughout the admission and enrollment process, your portal will be updated with relevant information.

Be sure to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and include Eastern on your list of schools as soon as possible to ensure a timely financial aid offer. Once your aid offer is available, we’ll mail a copy to your home. You may also view your offer online by following steps 1-10 on this page.

Your Office 365 e-mail account is the primary source of communication between you and Eastern. Prior to arriving to campus, you will receive emails to inform you about placement testing, housing, financial aid, and registration. Your account credentials are also used to access eWeb to view your transfer credit evaluation, submit your deposits, register for classes, view your financial aid, and more. Please click here for instructions to activate your Office 365 account; your credentials are viewable in your admissions portal.

Once your official transcripts have been reviewed, the evaluation will be posted on eWeb Online Services: http://eweb.easternct.edu. You may access this by logging into your Office 365 account, and clicking the icon titled “SelfService (eWeb)”.

For more information about registering and the Advising Center’s services, please visit this page. If you have any questions, call the Advising Center at (860) 465-4526.

Please note: Students may pay their tuition deposit before registering for classes. Transfer and re-admitted students will be able to register with current Eastern students in their designated class (determined by number of completed credits).
