Notification
Marymount University has a rolling admissions policy, unless otherwise noted in this catalog or on the admissions website. The university notifies applicants if they have met the criteria for admission after the application process is completed and the Office of Admissions has acted on the application.
An offer of admission to Marymount University is tentative until the applicant’s final high school or college grades are received and conditions of the acceptance, if any, are met.
If provisional admission is offered, the student must meet the provisions outlined in the official admission letter in order to continue in the program.
Process to validate a high school diploma as eligible for admission and Federal Title IV Funds
Students whose high school diplomas are deemed unacceptable have the opportunity to submit evidence that the high school is in fact valid. Schools will be rated based on the subjective judgment of the Office of Admissions staff, in coordination with Office of the Registrar, after reviewing collected documentation.
Diploma-granting entities will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- mode of delivery of education to the student;
- evidence of specified periods of dated enrollment, such as semesters, grade levels, or other defined dates of enrollment, that demonstrate student engagement and participation;
- the website of the entity does not conflict with the information provided; and
- any other criteria that will assist the college in making a final validity determination.
The Financial Aid office will be notified of the status of all diploma-granting entities that go through the validation process and will provide a member to serve on a decision committee in instances where a validation does not provide a clear judgment.
