General Acceptance Procedures

Once applicants have been notified of acceptance into the College, the following steps must be completed:

  1. Enrollment Deposit – All accepted applicants must submit an enrollment deposit of $125. This deposit will be applied toward the student’s tuition upon enrollment at the College. Applicants who decide not to enroll at Mercy College after submitting the enrollment deposit should notify the Office of Admissions two weeks prior to the start of the semester for a refund, otherwise the enrollment deposit is non-refundable.
  2. Complete Math Assessment – Students may be required to complete a mathematics placement assessment prior to registering for a math course. This is indicated in the student's acceptance letter. To determine if you need the Math Assessment, please contact Admissions at (419) 251-1313. 
  3. New Student Orientation (NSO) Program – All accepted students are required to attend NSO prior to the start of classes. This orientation allows all accepted students to meet faculty, staff, and peers, while receiving information about College policies and procedures. Students enrolling in online programs are required to complete an online orientation prior to the start of classes.
  4. Academic Advising - All students are required to schedule an appointment with their Academic Advisor prior to attending NSO and registering for courses. Contact the Student Success Center at (419) 251-8955 to schedule this appointment. 
  5. COVID-19 Vaccination - If you are currently vaccinated for COVID-19, please provide proof of vaccination by submitting both the front and back of your vaccination card to covidcompliance@mercycollege.edu.  At this time, the COVID-19 vaccination is not required for new students in order to enroll at Mercy College of Ohio, however it is highly recommended.  Please note that requirements for clinical placements may differ and the COVID-19 vaccination may be required at some clinical sites.
