Planning to Attend Morris College?

We encourage you to review the Net Price Calculator for an estimate of costs and average aid awarded. The Net Price Calculator is a broad estimator of cost and financial aid and does not represent an individual offer of aid. More than half of all students at Morris receive some type of financial aid.

We encourage you to apply early as most funds are limited. You must apply for financial aid each year by completing the FAFSA available online at www.fafsa.gov.

Applicants may gain admission to the freshman class by meeting one of the following requirements:

  1. Presenting evidence of graduation with a diploma from an accredited high school, ranking in the upper 3/4 of the high school class, and successfully completing a curriculum which includes the following standard 24 units:

  7. Applicants who do not meet one of the above-stated requirements for admission but who can present evidence of graduation with a diploma from an accredited high school and who have successfully completed the standard 24 units above are still eligible for admission to the College. Such applicants are admitted on academic probation, may not enroll for more than thirteen (13) credit hours during each of the first two consecutive semesters, and are required to attend assigned study sessions and tutoring sessions.
