Congratulations!

Now that you’ve been accepted and received your admission packet, be sure to complete your next steps to be ready for your McMurry journey. We’ll post updates and your personalized checklist to your application portal. Check your portal frequently to receive important updates and information. We can’t wait to have you join our campus community and War Hawk family!

Next Steps

Step 1: Deposit!

Submit your deposit in your application portal to reserve your place in the incoming new student class. Be sure to accept your offer of admission to see the link to submit your deposit.

Step 2: Complete your financial aid process

Admitted students will be packaged for financial aid once we have received your FAFSA. If you aren’t planning on filing a FAFSA, just let your Admission Counselor know. You’ll receive a financial aid award notification in the mail and be able to view your aid in your application portal. In the Spring semester, your Admission Counselor will reach out to walk through your financial aid, but you can always give us a call whenever you’re ready to talk through it!

Step 3: Sign up for an Admitted Student Day

Come visit campus on a specially designed event for admitted students like you. Engage with your fellow classmates, experience student life, and participate in faculty-led mock classes. Our final admitted student event for 2024 will take place on Friday, May 10.

Step 4: Find your home

Complete your application for student housing in your application portal after submitting your deposit. Housing applications are available now and assignments are released in the summer.

Step 5: Join the Flock at SOAR
