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, which opens October 1 for the following Fall semester. 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. Admitted student events for 2023 have passed, but we welcome admitted students to campus each weekday to see if McMurry is the place for you.
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.
