NOTE: All applicants must submit their required documents before an admissions decision can be made.
Specific Requirements
- Submit an online application via:
- Official high school transcripts from all high schools attended
- Official college transcripts from all colleges attended
- Special program requirements
The following programs require special program review and have additional requirements beyond the standard Mercy application:
- Accelerated Second Degree Nursing
- Traditional Nursing
- Veterinary Technology
- Music Production and Recording Arts
- Occupational Therapy Assistant
- Social Work
Please note: Unofficial and/or student copies of transcripts can be used for a preliminary review for admission and transfer credit evaluation. Official copies must be received before the start of a student’s first term to avoid delays in registration and financial aid eligibility/disbursement. Official copies of transcripts must be sealed and sent directly from the high school(s) or college(s) attended.
Please refer to the international admission webpage for more information.
Transfer students that were homeschooled or attended an online high school may apply for undergraduate admission at Mercy University will be required to provide additional proof of high school equivalency in the form of a GED, or equivalent, in order to enroll at the University. All other requirements remain the same.
