Begin your journey by participating in one of Mercy University’s most meaningful traditions, New Student Orientation! All students entering Mercy University for the first time are required to attend Orientation. This experience is designed to prepare you for academic success, connect you with fellow Mavericks, and introduce you to the campus community.

Students must submit a high school transcript for their application to be reviewed. We will accept either an unofficial or official transcript. Students are able to upload these transcripts through their student portal. 

An official final high school transcript (provided by the high school to Mercy University), which includes all secondary school grades, class rank and date of graduate must be submitted prior to enrollment. 

Students whose transcripts are unavailable should consult with an admissions counselor. Or, the applicant can provide a High School Equivalency Diploma, if applicable, with corresponding score sheet.
