Are you a new Montco student?

Are you new to Montco? Before connecting with an advisor, complete these steps:

  1. Send a copy of your high school and/or college transcript(s) to transcripts@mc3.edu. In order to determine the appropriate placement, advisors will be holistically evaluating any transcripts you may have. Please send these at least 3 business days in advance of your advising appointment.
    • Next, file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you have questions, you can get more info from our Monty Bot at the bottom right of our website or by visiting mc3.edu/FAFSA for step-by-step instructions and workshops.
  2. Fill out the Student Intake form.
  3. Complete MyCareerPlan which can be found under your 'Tasks' in Montco Connect.
  4. Sign Montco's Student Financial Responsibility Agreement (SFRA). The SFRA is a mandatory agreement that outlines financial obligations and responsibilities for attending Montco. You must complete the SFRA in Self-Service prior to registering for classes. This must be done each semester. 
  5. To schedule an advising appointment, call 215-641-6577 (press #2) or access our online appointment system (Starfish)

    If you need any help with the admissions process, our staff is available in our virtual assistance room by accessing the SSRC chat during normal business hours.
