High School and College Student Resources
We at Maryville College know that you have lots of questions, first and foremost being how to get into a great college of your choice. And we are here to help with that! No matter what type of student you are; whether a current high school senior or transferring from another institution, we know that no two paths are the same and you will find many resources available and collected here to help you reach your specific college goals, including but not limited to important docs, dates, FAQs and so much more, and all in one convenient location: right here and at Maryville College, where you will experience and be prepared for both the everyday and the unexpected.
We do things a little differently at Maryville College. Our team of dedicated Enrollment Counselors each work with a different territory and set of schools within the United States. Enrollment Counselors work with their students and families through the entire enrollment process so they are able to build meaningful relationships and advocate for their students. This personalized approach allows you to have one central contact to answer application questions, FAFSA questions, financial aid questions and more.
To find out which Enrollment Counselor you will work with, check out our Team page. They will help answer your questions at any time.
All of our scheduled events can be found on our Dates & Events page. General information about visiting the campus at other times can be found on the Visit page.

We understand not all high schools are the same, so we review each transcript based on the high school’s curriculum and grading scale. Students who have completed AP, IB or Dual Enrollment coursework, can receive college credit based on the review of exam scores or transcript. A 4 or 5 on an AP or IB exam will yield credit and a C or better in a Dual Enrollment class will yield credit.
Our Enrollment Counselors will assist students and families through the entire financial aid process. We are committed to helping our students and families get the most aid to afford a quality education. We offer a variety of scholarships and financial aid.
