My SJS Welcome Page

Welcome to St. Joseph's Seminary & College Online Portal.

For Applicants interested in taking classes primarily at the Yonkers or Poughkeepsie sites, please contact Dr. Donna Eschenauer at (914) 367-8280 or by email: donna.eschenauer@archny.org prior to applying online.

For applicants interested in taking classes primarily at the Huntington or Douglaston sites, please contact Dean Christine Hammill-Cregan at (631) 423-0483, ext. 130 or by email: christine.hammill-cregan@archny.org prior to applying online.

New Applicants who are wanting to pursue an MA in Theology, MA in Catholic Philosophical Studies, Post-Master's Certificate in Sacred Scripture, or Post-Master's Certificate in Dogmatic Theology will apply through the Online Application for Non-Seminarians. Once the application is submitted online, it is reviewed and kept in an applicant status until all required documents are received by the Academic Office. Transcripts, Statement of Purpose, and Recommendation Letters are required from all applicants. The Proof of Immunization Form in Additional Documents tab is required from all applicants born after January 1957, who are taking two or more classes per semester. New York State requires all schools of higher education to maintain proof of immunization in student records. There is a $50.00 application fee for all first-time students. Returning students applying for a new program are exempt from paying an application fee.

Candidates for the Permanent Diaconate who are new to St. Joseph's Seminary MA Program will apply online through the Online Application portal. Because each diocese requires Letters of Intent or a Statement of Purpose and recommendation letters, candidates for the permanent diaconate are exempt from submitting those documents to St. Joseph's Seminary; however, official transcripts and proof of immunization (if born after January 1957) are required and must be submitted to the Academic Office.  Candidates of the Permanent Diaconate are exempt from the $50.00 application fee. Please contact your diaconate office for the waiver code.

First Year Seminarians and First Year CFR's will register in the SJS system using the First Year Seminarian Registration Form. Once in the Student Information System, seminarians and CFR's will be able to access NetClassroom with the user name and password created for the online registration form and enroll in classes.


If you have trouble accessing the forms or accessing NetClassroom, please call (914) 367-8281 or email cynthia.harrison@archny.org for assistance.
