All applicants must follow the steps mentioned below, in order to apply to Mississippi College comprehensively:
STEP 1: Fill in the application
STEP 2: Send your transcripts to MC
Students who applied to enter MC as an incoming freshman should request that their high school send an official in-progress transcript of all high school work completed to date to the Office of Admissions. A student copy of the transcript cannot be accepted for admissions purposes. Transcripts may be sent electronically from the high school via the transcript services eScrip or Parchment or mailed directly to the Office of Admissions.
After graduation, applicants must have a final transcript sent including the date of graduation, a signature by a school official, and an official seal.
Students who have applied to enter MC as a transfer or are receiving credit from another college or university must submit a transcript showing college work as well. If the candidate is still enrolled in credit at that college, MC requires a student copy in order to determine their admission status. If the candidate is no longer taking classes at that college, have the college or university send a final, official transcript showing all credits completed. Final transcripts must come directly from the college or university via electronic service or mail.
Student copies can typically be obtained by either accessing online Student Portal at the institution, or by contacting institution's Registrar. Acceptable student copies of a transcript must:
- Be a display of actual transcript, not a screenshot of student portal at the institution
- Include your name
- Include the institution's name where you are receiving credit
- Include all classes in which you are or have been enrolled
- Include grades and/or "work in progress" if you are currently enrolled
- Include ALL pages
STEP 3: Submit Test Scores
Students who do not provide a standardized test score for admission evaluation will be considered for admission at MC based upon their high school GPA and other holistic criteria. Test scores for all applicants who graduated from high school within the last five years must be sent to MC directly from ACT, SAT and CLT headquarters or from the student’s high school (such as printed on an official transcript).
