Admitted Students
Welcome to College of Saint Mary. You’ve taken a big step, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you join our community. Now it’s time to take a few simple next steps to prepare for your first semester.

You’re In. Let’s get started.
Getting started is straightforward. Follow these steps to secure your place and prepare for the semester.
Confirm your spot in the incoming class by submitting your deposit. Once we receive it, you’ll be officially in and can move forward with registration and additional planning.
If you haven’t already filed your FAFSA, do it as soon as possible. The information from the FAFSA helps us finalize your financial aid eligibility, including federal grants, loans and CSM scholarships.
Once your FAFSA is processed, you’ll receive a financial aid award letter. Review it carefully, accept or adjust offered aid as needed, and reach out if you have questions. This ensures you know exactly how your education is being financed.
If you plan to live on campus, complete your housing application as soon as it becomes available. Application generally open February 1 for the following academic year.
You’ll select your preferences and begin preparing for residential life at CSM. Living on campus helps you build connections quickly and fully experience the community.
Choose an available Registration Day that fits your schedule. On this day, you’ll meet with an academic advisor, build your first-semester schedule and get connected with resources like Student Accounts, Financial Aid and tech support.
As the semester approaches, you’ll receive details about orientation, move-in and first-week activities. These events are designed to help you feel connected, confident and ready for day one.

Visit Campus
The best way to feel confident about your decision is to experience campus in person. Walk the campus, meet future classmates, connect with faculty, and see firsthand where your next chapter will begin.
