Registrar's Office

Note: This does not replace myMountMercy. These forms are only for use during situations in which you cannot use myMountMercy. Online registration is always preferable to forms.

• Drop form – This will only require the signature of your advisor. Starting in Spring 2021, your instructor is no longer required to sign a drop form. This form should only be used after a term has already started. Otherwise, use myMountMercy.
• Add – Current term – This form will require the approval of both your advisor and the instructor of the course. It will not be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office until both parties approve. This is for use during add/drop period at the start of a term.
• Add – Future term – Only your advisor will be required to approve this form. This should only be used if you have a stop on your account or for some other reason cannot register online. Otherwise, use myMountMercy.

Student athletes will no longer be required to have Athletic Director permission before making schedule changes. The Athletic Department will use other reports to monitor eligibility.

Use the Transfer Tool application to find out how courses from other institutions have been evaluated for transfer to Mount Mercy University. Please note: 

• Developmental, remedial, vocational, test out, or experiential learning college credit is not transferable to Mount Mercy.
• A maximum of 63* semester hours (non-technical) from two-year, regionally-accredited, associate degree-granting institutions will be accepted.
• There is no limit to the number of semester hours that will be accepted from a four-year, regionally-accredited institution.
• Credit earned at non-regionally accredited institutions may be accepted in transfer on a case by case basis.
• Transfer courses meeting the requirements noted above and completed with a grade of D- or better will be accepted at Mount Mercy. Whether or not the D- grade counts toward the major is up to the individual department.
• Transfer course grades will be listed on the Mount Mercy transcript but will not count toward the cumulative grade point average.
• Transfer courses marked with a double grade meeting the requirements noted above will have the higher grade transferred to Mount Mercy. For example, if a grade of CD has been assigned, the higher grade, C, will be placed on the Mount Mercy transcript.

*Some students will be eligible to transfer in more than 63 hours due to specific departmental policies. The Registrar's Office will make this determination during the official transcript evaluation.

Certification of enrollment for the purpose of education benefits is a service provided by the Office of the Registrar. Students who plan to attend Mount Mercy while receiving any type of Veterans Education Benefits should follow these steps.
