After you've submitted your deposit and officially accepted your offer of admission, watch for information from us in mid-May (mid-October for springies) about setting up your MHC credentials.
Monitor your MHC email account for important action items such as course selection, housing registration, pre-orientation for international students, etc.

Note: We will send your MHC email credentials to the email address you provided the Admission Office when you applied, so it’s very important to contact us if that email changes or becomes inactivated.

Resources for admitted international students

In late April, please visit the webpage for incoming international students and click on the Visa Document Request Form link to begin the process. At that time, Jenny Medina, Senior Immigration Advisor for International Students, will begin mailing the Form I-20 to students who have paid their enrollment deposit and submitted the required documents. If you have not received the Form I-20 within three weeks of filing the required forms or if you have any questions about your visa, please email Jenny directly at jmedina@mtholyoke.edu.

Considering deferring your entry?

Each year, a handful of students admitted to Mount Holyoke choose to take a gap year or gap semester prior to matriculation. Some spend that time working or independently exploring their interests while others enroll in a gap program designed to help them gain professional or skills-based experience.

We recognize that there may be extenuating circumstances that would lead to a request to defer entry. Admitted students may request to defer their entrance for one semester or one academic year. Deferral requests must be approved by the Office of Admission and are only granted to students who have submitted their enrollment agreement and deposit. Requests to defer should be submitted by June 1.

Please note that domestic students who have received need-based financial aid are required to re-apply for aid annually; those who defer entrance for a full academic year must re-apply for financial aid in the academic year they plan to return. Institutional merit aid awarded at the point of admission will remain intact through the approved deferral period. For questions or to request a deferral, please email us at defer@mtholyoke.edu.

Admitted students who wish to delay entrance beyond one academic year will need to re-apply for admission to Mount Holyoke.

This list offers a sampling of opportunities that ��ý students have pursued.

Note: These are not ��ý programs and the College bears no responsibility for the experience of participants. Students must apply directly to the gap-experience program of their choice.
