and some exciting events coming up. We'll make it easy for you to

Financial Aid
The Mount is dedicated to helping students and their families
navigate the financial aid process. Here's how to get started:
- The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is
available. You can access this at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The Mount’s
FAFSA School Code is 002778.
- File your application by February 15 to receive your financial
aid package in early April.
- If you already filed the FAFSA in the fall, update your form to
include the Mount’s school code to your application.
- Schedule an appointment with a Financial Aid counselor to
discuss monthly payment plans, or to go over financing issues.
Credit Evaluation and Advisement
Receive and review your transcript credit evaluation from the
Registrar's office within 5-7 business days after acceptance.
Transcript credit evaluations will inform you of how many credits
are eligible to transfer to the Mount.
After you receive your transcript credit evaluation, contact
your academic advisor listed on the bottom of your transcript
credit evaluation.
Registration for fall is generally in April, and for the spring
semester, in November. Advisement is necessary in order to register
for classes, so be sure to schedule your appointment promptly.
For accepted nursing students: the Nursing
division will offer a group advisement session on May 14th
at 6 pm. To register for the session, please email:
matthew.dembinsky@msmc.edu.

Once you receive your financial aid package and credit
evaluation, and have met with your advisor, you can pay your
admissions deposit and register for courses. You must pay an
admissions deposits before registering for courses.

spring semester by December 1. The deposit cost is $450 for

Last-minute Items
Schedule a Visit: If you haven’t been to see
the Mount yet, schedule a visit to campus.
Final Transcripts: If you completed any courses
last semester or over the summer, have your final transcripts sent

transcript be sent to the College. New York State requires proof of
high school graduation for all students (regardless of age) prior
to disbursing any financial aid.

in the mail. For students enrolling in the fall, housing paperwork
is generally mailed late May/early June. Be sure to complete the
information soon after receiving it to secure your spot in
housing.
Health Forms: Submit your health forms to the
Office of Health and Wellness.
