FAQ

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Fill out the Marist application for admissions and submit to Graduate and Adult Enrollment along with your sealed official college transcripts and $50.00 (non-refundable) application fee. We will send you a transcript evaluation at which point you make an appointment to register with an academic advisor.

WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE MY TRANSCRIPTS?

Upon initial contact, we sent you an Official Transcript Request Form. Fill it out and send to your previous college(s). We need all previous college transcripts.

IS THERE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?

Yes. Financial Aid is available to a matriculated student in a degree program or certificate program. Students must be enrolled in at least six credits and require financial assistance to meet your total expense at Marist College. Students should apply for this assistance while applying for admission.

Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Marist College school code is 002765. If you do not have a Personal Identification Number (PIN), apply for one at www.pin.ed.gov. You will need a PIN to electronically sign your FAFSA.

For additional information contact the Office of Student Financial Services. You can also download the latest version of Marist's Affordability Guide for adult students which provides useful information about financial aid, grants, scholarships, loan programs, and so much more.
