Financing Your Degree

Felician University is committed to providing you with a nurturing and affordable academic environment – that’s why we remain one of the most affordable private colleges in New Jersey.

It is important to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. It is the only way to determine if you will qualify for any loans. Filing online is recommended as it is quicker and more efficient than paper filing – fafsa.ed.gov. To file online you must first obtain a pin at pin.ed.gov.

Felician’s FAFSA Code: 002610

Felician Email/Felician Hub

It is important that you obtain and use a Felician e-mail address. Administrative offices and faculty will use this e-mail address as a primary way to contact you during your time as a Felician student. When you register for classes, you will receive a letter in the mail with your Felician e-mail address and password.

This letter will also provide the details you need to access Felician Hub, an online platform that will enable you to view course information such as your schedule and grades, and to interact with various campus offices.

For e-mail or Felician Hub issues, or if you do not receive the required login information, please contact the IT Help Desk or call 201.559.6165.

Online Programs

Felician University uses a course management system (CMS) to provide the platform for online learning. Upon registering for an online course, you will be assigned log-in information for the CMS via your Felician University e-mail. Be aware that registration for an online course is closed on the first day the course begins.

If you have any questions, please contact the Felician Online Campus Help Desk or call 877.740.2213.
