5. Choose your application type: First-time, Transfer, Graduate, Continuing Education, or Re-Admit. 
   • First-time applications are for students entering college for the first time. 
   • Transfer applications are for those who have already attended college for some period of time at a different institution. 
   • Graduate applications are for individuals who are looking to enter Mount Aloysius’ master’s programs.

6. Confirm that the correct application type is selected and open the application.
7. Choose your anticipated entry year, academic term, and program of interest. This lets us know when you plan on starting college and what you want to study.
8. Fill out the personal background information. We like to get to know you, and this information lets us know some pretty basic information about you. We’ll need your address (both where you live and where you receive mail), your phone number, and other background info. Don’t worry–Mount Aloysius College keeps this information private.
9. The questions in the “Application – Additional Information” section help us paint a bigger picture of who you are. Are you going to live on campus or commute? Do you have a particular religious affiliation? We don’t discriminate based on your answers to these questions, they just provide us with information we need to collect to complete your full application.
10.  Click ‘Add Institution’ to add your academic history. This will include your high school experience and any vocational or technical schools you may have attended. You’ll need to submit your transcripts at the bottom of this window. If you’re still in high school, you can request an unofficial transcript from your school to submit to us, and once you graduate, have your school send it to us. If you don’t have an unofficial transcript, don’t worry–you can still apply now and have your transcript sent when you graduate.
11. Mount Aloysius is a Test Optional College, but if you took the SAT or ACT and would like to submit them you are welcome to, but you are not required for most programs. Click ‘Add Test’ and fill out the info in the window that pops up.
12. Were you involved in any clubs or organizations while you were in high school? Are you a member of any community organizations? Here’s your chance to show them off. Click ‘Add Activity’ and fill out the information in the window. Add as many activities as you’d like–we want to hear about all of them!
13. If you were an athlete either with your high school or with a local organization, let us know! Click ‘Add New’ and enter information about your participation in the window. 
14. Type your name to digitally sign your application.
15. You can click on all the sections linked on the left to go back through and double-check the information you provided. If you’re happy with your application and want to submit it, click ‘Submit Application.’ If you want to wait until later, click ‘Save for Later.’ You can come back to your application and submit it at any time.

Please note: At any point during the application process, you can save and come back. The application will provide you with a code that you can use to log in. If you forget your code or are experiencing issues, the admissions team can send you the code and give you access.
