Mercy College seeks applicants who desire to take their education, their career and their life to the next level. We welcome applications from high school seniors, transfer students, students who wish to pursue their Master's, and adult student returning to college to complete their degrees or beginning a college education for the first time.

The application process at Mercy is simple and convenient. It all starts with filling out an application. You do not need to submit all materials at once. Once you fill out an application, you will have a personal admissions counselor assigned to you, who will walk you through the entire application and enrollment process. Below are the steps to applying:

• Undergraduate Applicants (click here)
• Graduate Applicants (click here)
• Visiting Students (click here)

Applying (Undergraduate)

For undergraduate applicants (applying to a bachelor's or associate's degree program):

1. Apply - Fill out an application. You can download an application and print it out, or fill one out online.
2. Transcripts - Submit your transcripts. Mercy College requires your official transcripts, but if you have copies, those can be useful until you get your official ones. It can often take several weeks for mailed transcripts to arrive, so contact your school to get them or have them sent to Mercy as soon as possible.
3. Interview - If you haven't already met with an Admissions Counselor, schedule an interview with one, either in-person, or by phone (877-MERCY-GO).
4. Apply for financial aid - If you are applying for financial aid, you should start the process of applying for aid as early as possible, to receive the best possible consideration for aid. You can apply for financial aid easily by filling out the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. Please note that you will not receive a financial aid award until you have your admissions file materials (application and official transcript) completed, and you have been admitted - but you can apply for aid any time.
5. Immunization forms - Completing immunization requirements are not a requirement for admission, but they are required to be able to register for courses, so Mercy College encourages students to complete their immunization requirements as early as possible in the admissions process. To review those requirements, please click here.

Registering (Undergraduate)

After you've submitted your required application materials, the Office of Admissions will review your file for acceptance. Once file review for an upcoming semester begins, files are reviewed weekly, so you will hear about your acceptance decision soon. Once you have been admitted, the next step is to register for courses.

1. Remember, to be able to register for courses, you must complete your immunization requirements.
2. Appointment with Academic Advisor - New undergraduate students should book an appointment with an academic advisor to register for courses. Students may also register online via Mercy Connect.
3. Financial Clearance - Students should make sure their student accounts are cleared (meaning they have paid their balance in full, or arranged for a payment plan, or made sure all financial aid requirements have been met so that aid will cover the balance, or a combination of the above). To check your student account balance, please contact the Office of Student Accounts (to check on financial aid, please contact a Financial Aid Counselor).
4. Once you've registered, the College will be contacting you to help plan your new life here at Mercy College!
