From the Registrar’s Office

On behalf of everyone in the St. John Fisher University Registrar’s Office, welcome to Fisher! We hope you will find your transition to college to be a smooth one. There is a lot to know, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

We have very useful information on our webpage including: Fish ‘R ‘Net guide, documents and forms, transcripts, and registration information.

College Transfer Credits

The Registrar’s Office is currently articulating all applicable transfer credit to students’ academic records. The Center for Career and Academic Planning will contact students when credit has been articulated.  Once the student has been notified, they can see their credit on their Fisher academic transcript in Fish’R’Net.

University Catalog

First-year students will be following the academic requirements in the 2024-2025 University catalog which will be published in September and is located on the University intranet, mySJF. You will see “Current Catalogs” in the header of mySJF, and if you click there, you will be taken to a landing page where you can choose the undergraduate catalog. All program requirements for each major and minor are listed in each academic department page(s).  Institution policies and procedures can also be found in the catalog. 

University Academic Calendar

We recommend students and their families become familiar with the published academic calendar. The calendar notes all deadlines for registration, mid-term grades, withdrawal form course(s), final exam schedule, and University holidays.

Enrollment Verifications

St. John Fisher University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment verification certificates to students through its web-based Student Self-Service program.

You can now print an advanced enrollment certificate on demand via a secure student portal at no charge. The University no longer provides student enrollment verifications directly or processes enrollment certification requests.

Reasons for Needing an Advanced Enrollment Verification

• Your health care provider or insurance company is requesting proof of enrollment.
• You are a scholarship recipient and they require verification of your matriculated status.
• Your current employer or housing leasing company needs to know that you are enrolled in the current semester.

How to Obtain an Advanced Enrollment Certificate

• Log in to Fish 'R' Netand click Enter Secure Area.
• Use your Fisher ID and PIN to log in.
• Once logged in, choose Student Services > Student Records > Advanced Certificate.
• You will then be directed to the official National Student Clearinghouse website to obtain the information you need.

The University will send another enrollment report on September 5 to the Clearinghouse. This report will then populate information to loan providers. Once this report is processed, you would no longer access the Advanced Certificate but choose the enrollment certificate.
