Freshman Admissions

Newly Admitted Students

Congratulations on your admission to Marymount University! Here’s what you need to do next to make your status as an MU first-year student official:

STEP 1: Confirm your enrollment.
To confirm that you will be attending Marymount, you’ll need to return the Enrollment Notification Form that was sent with your acceptance letter along with your enrollment deposit. Please note that our recommended freshman deposit deadline for fall enrollment is May 1 and January 3 for spring enrollment.

You may pay your deposit by credit card over the phone by calling the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (800) 548-7638 or you can mail a check to
 
Marymount University
Attn: Undergraduate Admissions
2807 North Glebe Road
Arlington, VA 22207
 
 
STEP 2: Create your Student Account.
Your student account will provide you with access to the Marymount portal, email, Blackboard, and other internal sites. Create your account now.
 
You will receive a computer-generated password. If you would like to change this password to something easy for you to remember, please link to the myMarymount portal and select "Forgot/Change Password." Your password needs to be at least six characters.
 
STEP 3: Reserve your spot at freshman orientation.
All incoming freshmen must attend an orientation session. Students who will be entering in the fall who have submitted their deposit by the May 1 deadline will receive an invitation to the Summer Orientation Session (SOS) by mail. Students who are entering in the spring will receive a letter outlining registration for Spring Orientation in late November. Questions about freshman orientation should be sent to orientation@marymount.edu.

STEP 4: Prepare to develop a class schedule.
After registering for your orientation session, you should visit the New Student Advising and Registration (NSTAR) page. You will complete a number of self-placement exercises and then develop a class schedule that will be approved by an advisor at orientation. 
 
Further questions about course registration should be directed to your Academic School's office. You can also contact the Office of the Registrar.
 
STEP 5: Attend a Spring or Summer Orientation Session (SOS).
Students entering in the fall will participate in the day-and-a-half program for students and families during June.  Spring students will participate in a half-day program for students and families in January. All students will have opportunities to meet peers, faculty, and staff; learn about campus resources; and create a schedule or confirm classes. Please send questions about orientation to the Orientation Office.

STEP 6: Submit your campus housing application (Resident Students).
Shortly after submitting your $300 nonrefundable housing deposit, you’ll receive an email from the Office of Campus and Residential Services to your MU email address. This email will contain information and instructions on how to apply for university housing and how to select your meal plan. Be sure to read this email and apply as soon as possible to reserve your space in one of our residence halls.

FINAL STEP: Begin classes at Marymount.
Freshmen move in during specified dates in the fall or spring. Fall classes begin at the end of August; spring classes begin in January. Get ready for an awesome first year!

Students enrolling and depositing after July 1 will receive a letter from the Orientation office regarding their Orientation process. Please be advised, send your deposit no later than JULY 30 to ensure a better enrollment and preparation experience prior to classes in the fall.
