Once MHGS has received the completed application materials, the Admissions Committee will review the application and notify the applicant in writing regarding admission status. If more information is needed, the applicant will be contacted either by telephone or in writing. Applicants may contact the Office of Admissions to verify the arrival of documents, such as transcripts and recommendations.

In order to confirm their intention to enroll at Mars Hill Graduate School, applicants who have been notified of their admission are required to submit an advance tuition deposit of $200 at least one month prior to the beginning of the term. If the applicant is admitted after this due date, the deposit is due within two weeks of the date of admission to MHGS. Admitted students may not register for classes until the deposit is received. The deposit will be credited to the student's account for the first term of enrollment. It is refundable up to two weeks before the beginning of the term.
