Congratulations!
Well first of all, congratulations! Take a second and pat yourself on the back. You did it…you got into college.
And not just any college — one that will go above and beyond to help you become the very best version of yourself, whoever you are. We’re happy you’re here, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to start your Viking Voyage. Welcome to Villa Maria College.
Check in With Financial Aid
If you haven’t already received your personalized financial aid package and you know your FAFSA was sent to Villa, it should be delivered to your mailbox any day. You’ll want to open that envelope right away and take a really careful look at your award letter. This letter will list all the financial aid you’ve been offered to help you cover the cost of tuition.
Don’t forget, books and supplies are free at Villa Maria College, so you don’t have to worry about paying for those. There are also other opportunities for you to earn money that can go towards your tuition, like the College’s Work Study Program.
The Financial Aid Offices uses the information you provided on your FAFSA and some other factors to come up with your financial aid package. If you feel you have extenuating circumstances that were not represented in your FAFSA, we’ll work with you as much as possible to make sure college is affordable for you.
Financial aid can be confusing but it’s a huge part of going to college. Villa Maria’s Financial Aid and Admissions teams will walk you all the way through the process. If you have questions at any point, reach out to Aimee Murch, our director of financial aid, at [email protected].
Register for Classes
One of the coolest things about college is that you get to make your own schedule. As a new student, you’ll work with your first-year advisor from the Student Success Center to make a schedule that meets your academic requirements and works with your life schedule.
Villa’s Admissions team will help you schedule your registration appointment. The sooner you register, the more likely you are to get the classes you want, so email [email protected] or call 716.961.1805 to get started.
Share Your Viking Pride
Your acceptance to Villa Maria College is a big deal. Maybe you worked really hard in high school and accomplished something you never thought possible. Maybe you’re the first in your family to go off to college. Maybe you found Villa and felt like you fit in instantly. Regardless, you have so many reasons to feel proud of yourself. We’re proud of you, too, and want to help you share your accomplishment with the world…or at least the people who drive by your house.
When you’re ready to officially call yourself a Villa Viking, we’ll give you a lawn sign. Snap a pic and share it on social using #FutureViking. We can’t wait to see your signs on display!
