   Once you have uploaded your completed answers, you will immediately receive an e-mail confirmation at your SHU e-mail address.  Please keep this for your records.  After uploading, please check “Reports.”(see below), if no upload date appears, try uploading again.  If you experience any further difficulty, e-mail your completed answers to law_registrar@shu.edu.
