Secrets to Success: "Prayer and hard work. I'm fortunate to have encouragement from family, friends and co-workers." Current Student.
Accepted Mercy College students must submit an updated and usable email address to Mercy College, St. Elizabeth Campus. Please send an accurate email to stelizabeth@mercycollege.edu so that we can communicate with you during this transition time. Please make sure that you include your full name in the email subject line.
The first thing you need to do to prepare for orientation is fill out an orientation/ matriculation form and return it to Mercy College. The matriculation form and $60 reservation fee must be mailed to Mercy College to reserve your space. Return the form and $60 reservation fee to Mercy College, St. Elizabeth Campus Darnell Irvine, 1044 Belmont Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio 44501. The fee and form are due before students are able to reserve a space for orientation and COMPASS assessment. Students will receive a postcard as a confirmation that Mercy College received their completed form and $60 reservation fee.

Step 2: Financial Aid Session
Mercy College will host a financial aid session for admitted students at the St. Elizabeth Campus on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. All admitted students, families and parents are encouraged to attend by making reservations at stelizabeth@mercycollege.edu. The session will cover the FASFA, grants, loans and scholarships. Students are highly encouraged to complete the FASFA in advance so that the financial aid officer can assist you. Please visit the Mercy College website for links and documents about financial aid.
Students, who will need to complete the assessment, will receive a letter by e-mail about scheduling, location, times and date. This assessment will be administered at the St. Elizabeth Campus before orientation. St. Elizabeth admitted students should cautiously note that TESTING into remedial course work would delay enrollment into Mercy College and the nursing program.
To schedule the assessment, simply email darnell.irvine@mercycollege.edu and request a time between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you have not completed the required assessment, academic advisors are unable to register students for classes. All assessment arrangements must be made at least two weeks prior to your orientation sessions.
