NEXT STEPS

Your Enrollment Checklist

FALL/WINTER

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available beginning in December of your senior year. Mercer’s federal school code is 001580. Complete your FAFSA as early as possible to be considered for every type of financial assistance available, and submit your FAFSA by February 1 for priority consideration. Submissions received after this priority date will be considered as funds remain available. Students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents do not need to submit a FAFSA.

MyMercer is our student web portal where you will submit the Statement of Student Responsibilities, accept or reject any financial aid amounts offered, view and pay your bills due to Mercer, sign up for direct deposit for any refunds, add authorized payers (such as your parents/ guardians), waive the Bear Book Bundle, and submit the Student Records Release Authorization. You will receive instructions and login information via email to access your MyMercer account.

Students who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents must submit a valid government-issued passport and a U.S.-issued F-1 Student Visa to enroll at Mercer. To obtain the F-1 Visa, you'll need to complete an I-20 form. The University has been authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students and to issue I-20 Forms. A Declaration of Finances, in U.S. dollar equivalents, verifying that you have adequate financial resources to cover the costs of attending Mercer University is also required as part of the Visa process.
