A student may not register, utilize college facilities, or receive transcripts/grade reports, including licensing agencies, until all accounts with the college are cleared. This includes all charges for tuition, fees, library, bookstore, or any other college department expense.

The student’s tuition, fees and other charges must be paid in full by the posted due date.

Please contact your program leader for more information about those requirements before you seek that rotation or experience.

Mercy College further recommends that each student verify their current health insurance coverage if you have not already done so. Please understand that if you choose not to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage, or if you lose health insurance coverage for any reason during your program enrollment, your will be solely and financially responsible for all health care costs that you may incur. If you do not currently have applicable health insurance coverage through your employer, family, or other means, you may visit https://healthcare.gov for further options.
