Financial Aid

We work hard to make a GMercyU education affordable — and make the process as smooth as possible. Check out the next steps below, as well as who to contact should you have any questions.

If you haven’t already applied for financial aid, you should do so immediately. The first step is to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The FAFSA will help our financial aid office determine if you’re eligible for federal or state financial aid.*

Need help or have questions? Contact us at financialaid@gmercyu.edu or 215-646-7300 ext. 21216. You can also learn about the financial aid process here.

*Not planning to submit a FAFSA? Please let us know!

Your aid offer will be ready in early January or just a few weeks after we receive your completed FAFSA from then on. When it's ready, you'll be notified by email.

Please be sure to review and accept your financial aid offer via the Student Self-Service Portal. Log into the portal with the username and password provided to you via email and then click on “Financial Aid” to access your aid, forms, and other important information.

Need help logging in? Contact your admissions counselor or email us at admissions@gmercyu.edu

Registration

Before you can start classes, there are few things you need to do. Check out the directions below and who to contact should you have any questions. 

To ensure that you are prepared to succeed in college-level courses, you will need to take the English and mathematics placement assessments before registering for your first semester at GMercyU. You can access them on the Placement Assessments webpagePlease complete them by August 1. 

If you have any questions or need assistance, please email placementtesting@gmercyu.edu.

*Placement Assessments are not required of students admitted to the Integrated Studies program. Transfer students do not need to take the placement assessments unless they have not successfully completed both a college-level English and math course.

Details and registration will be posted soon for this August's New Student Orientation for First-Year Students and Transfer Student Orientation!

During an orientation event this summer, students will register for classes with the support and guidance of an academic advisor. More on this event will be posted soon!

Pay Your Tuition

Fall bills are typically released the first week of July. Here are your next steps.

All full-time students must have health insurance coverage, whether it is provided by the University or you have your own coverage.

If you have your own insurance, you need to complete a health insurance waiver form* or you will be automatically enrolled in and billed for the University insurance plan. 

Please note: New students must be registered for classes before you can successfully submit the health insurance waiver. If you have any questions about the health insurance waiver form, please contact the Campbell Solution Center at campbellsolutioncenter@gmercyu.edu.

*You will need to know your date of birth and student ID number.* This number can be found on your billing invoice. Do not use the dash when entering your ID number.

 There are several ways to pay your tuition bill:

  1. Submit your full balance due using our online payment portal, which is accessible via the Self-Service portal.
  2. Apply for a Parent Plus or Private loan to cover an outstanding balance once all other financial aid has been applied to your account.
  3. Pay your semester charges monthly by setting up a payment plan through our online payment portal. The payment plan allows you to break your balance into five equal payments for Fall and five equal payments for Spring. Instructions on how to set up a payment plan will be sent to your GMercyU email address. Please note: students can't enroll into a payment plan until they have a bill, and a bill won’t generate until they are registered for classes. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Bursar’s Office at 215-646-7300 ext., 21278 or studentbilling@gmercyu.edu.
