[Institutional aid is reduced to cover the cost of tuition only, not fees.]

At the start of their 5th year, BS/MBA and BA/MBA Majors are classified as graduates (no longer eligible for institutional aid) and may receive the alumni discount on graduate-level courses.

Mount Alumni: Students who earned a bachelor's or master's degree from the Mount (with the exception of 5-year bachelor's/master's degree scholarship students) may receive a 25% reduction to graduate tuition!
