Now that you have been admitted to Marymount University, follow the steps below to stay on track to begin your program on time!<\/p>\n

1. Pay your enrollment deposit<\/h3>\n

Log into your admission portal to compete the Reply to Offer of Admission form and to pay your deposit. Information is found here<\/a>. If you have any questions related to the enrollment deposit, please contact Admissions<\/a> for assistance.<\/p>\n

2. Activate your Marymount student accounts<\/h3>\n

Go to the Student Account generator<\/a> and follow the instructions to establish your MU credentials. (TIP: if you do not have a U.S. phone number, the select the Okta App option for two-factor authentication.) Your MU credentials will give you access to Marymount’s Portal<\/a> which has all the applications you will need as a student, including your new Marymount Outlook email account, Canvas, Workday, Handshake, MU Engage, and much more.<\/p>\n

To create your MU credentials and later to register for classes, you must first be admitted for the current (or upcoming) term and<\/strong><\/em> you must have already paid an enrollment deposit to Admissions (it may take 3-5 business days for your enrollment deposit to be posted and clear the system).<\/p>\n

If you have difficulties activating your Marymount student account and it has been at least 5 days since you paid your enrollment deposit, then contact Information Technology Services at its@marymount.edu for assistance and include your full name and student ID number in your message.<\/p>\n

Once you have established your MU credentials and you have access to your student email account, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with Workday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Submit documents via the ISSS portal to request a Form I-20 (F-1 students only)<\/h3>\n

Once you are officially admitted to the current (or upcoming term), paid your enrollment deposit, and waited 3-5 business days, then you will receive an invitation in your Marymount student email account to access the ISSS portal. The ISSS portal is where you will submit your online request for your Marymount issued I-20.<\/p>\n

When submitting your request for an I-20, you must include a copy of your passport (valid at least 6 months beyond your planned entry date to the U.S.), completed and signed Marymount Declaration of Finances form, and proof of funding documentation.
