REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

STEP 1: TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION • You received a transfer credit evaluation when you were admitted. This will let you, and your advisor, know how your previous coursework will fit into your academic program here.

• Ensure that the Admission’s Office receives your most recent course transcript ([email protected] or Admissions Office, P.O. Box 1002, Millersville PA 17551). Send an updated transcript at the end of spring (and summer if enrolled) semester.

• Check out the Transfer Equivalency website at www.mville.us/transfer-equivalency to see how the courses from your previous institution will transfer if the process has not been completed.

• If you have questions about your evaluation, you can contact the Transcript Credit Coordinator at 717-871-4625 or speak to your chair/advisor (see below).

STEP 2: MATH PLACEMENT TEST • If you did not complete a college-level math course at your previous institution, you will need to complete a Math Placement Test prior to registering for math and some science classes. The test can be taken during Transfer Orientation & Advising Day (June 10 or August 1) or by making arrangements with the math department at 717-871-7668.

• If you are unsure if you need to take a placement test, please consult the math department: Math, 717-871-7668.

STEP 3: MEET WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT CHAIR FOR ADVISEMENT • Incoming transfer students who have declared a major should contact their department chair (or their designee) for advisement and registration assistance. A list of department chairs is available at millersville.edu/advisement/transfer -resources. Any Undeclared/Exploratory transfer students should speak to the Office of Academic and Student Development at 717-871-5333.

• Familiarize yourself with your Degree Audit (available in MAX). This report helps you understand what class requirements have been completed and what still needs to be taken for your major. Print a copy and bring it with you when you meet with your department chair; they can help you understand the report.

• If you haven’t received your final credit evaluation, bring along copies of your unofficial transcripts from your past institutions to help determine overrides and prerequisites.

You can also sign up for MAX Mobile - the MAX mobile menu item in your MAX account can be set so that you receive a text message when your wait-listed class becomes available.

Please note that financial aid cannot be used to cover the cost of books upfront. However, if you are expecting a refund (when your bill with the Bursar is less than your financial aid awards), you may apply for either a book loan or have funds added to your Marauder Gold Card to use at the University Bookstore. Contact Financial Aid for more information.

Financial Aid is available for students planning to attend both full-time (12 credits or more) and part-time (6-11 credits). Aid is also available for summer sessions through a special application. Federal and State aid is NOT available for the winter session. For information about financial aid, visit millersville.edu/finaid/index.php
