Accepted Students FAQs

 

I received my acceptance letter what do I do now?
Step 1: Celebrate and break out into that happy dance!
Step 2: Look through your acceptance packet- there is tons of important info in there.
Step 3: Don’t panic if you threw out your acceptance packet (all though we know you are framing that packet to cherish forever).
Step 4: If you did throw out your acceptance packet, give us a call and we can walk you through your next steps- 240-895-5000 or email us at admissions@smcm.edu.
Step 5: If you have your acceptance packet, log into your portal (login info is in your packet) and complete the checklist.
Step 6: Schedule a personal visit and embrace the warmth of our campus, learn why we stand out!
I am having trouble accessing my portal, who do I contact?
Go ahead and give our Office of Information and Technology a call- they stare at computers all day, so talking to a human is always exciting for them!
When does class registration begin?
Information Coming Soon!
Is anyone going to contact me after I’m accepted?
Yes! As your admission counselor comes back to life post application reading season, they will follow up with you (through emails or texts) to make sure you know how to submit your deposit, and to help you move forward after depositing (thus committing) to SMCM. You will also be contacted by other members of our campus community as we head into the next steps of the enrollment process.
I can’t pay my enrollment deposit, what do I do?
Your deposit is a portion of your tuition that you pay upfront to show your commitment to enrolling in SMCM (think a landlord asking for first and last month’s rent). Therefore it cannot be reduced or waived entirely. However, it can be deferred if it would be financially challenging to present the $500 dollars upfront. Please contact the admissions office if you wish to defer your deposit and submit written intent to enroll instead- 240-895-5000 or admissions@smcm.edu.
I have housing and residence life questions, who do I talk to?
Well, everyone on campus is eager to meet you and talk to you- but you might get the best answers from people who work in the- you guessed it- Office of Residence Life! Their contact is: 240-895-4207.
When will my aid be applied?
Information Coming Soon! You can always get in contact with our Financial Aid office: 240-895-3000. We STRONGLY encourage you follow up with them to make sure your FAFSA has been received (preferably by February 15th so you can be considered for federal and state aid in addition to SMCM aid).
Where can I find my bill?
The one stop shop for everything from registration, to billing, is your SMCM Portal. The link to the portal is http://seahawks.smcm.edu You will need your log in (this info was in your acceptance packet). If problems arise you can always contact our business office- (240) 895-4303.
