Let's make it official! There's still time to secure your place as a Mount Saint Mary College Knight for Fall 2024! Submit your deposit today!
You're in! What's next?
Here’s what you can expect over the next few months:
- If you have not already, please file your FAFSA. Completing your FAFSA is a critical step in the process of becoming a Knight, and we'll use that information to develop your financial aid package. Make sure to add the Mount’s school code: 002778 to your FAFSA.
- Register to attend Accepted Student Day in April, where you’ll meet your classmates and professors, get to know campus, learn about extracurriculars, and more!
- You’re probably starting to narrow down your college choices. If you decide the Mount is the one, be sure to pay your admissions deposit online in your Accepted Student Portal.
- Keep an eye out for an email regarding registration for summer Orientation.
- Accepted Student Day 1 and 2 are this month. Don't forget to register!
- You will receive your financial aid package from each college you are accepted to and submitted a FAFSA for. Need clarification about something in your financial aid package or have last-minute financing questions? You can set up an appointment with Student Financial Services!
- If the Mount is the college for you, we encourage you to submit your deposit as soon as you are ready. If you need an extension, please contact Admissions at admissions@msmc.edu.
Due to delays with the 2024 FAFSA, the deposit deadline has been extended, giving you more time to decide if the Mount is right for you.
- If you have paid your deposit, don't forget to register for summer Orientation.
- If you are a student with a disability and require accommodations, be sure to submit all necessary paperwork to the Office of Disability Services.
