Step Four: Select Your Housing at Marietta

Log into the Residence website to fill out your application for housing (available May 5). Before accessing the Residence Portal, you must wait 24 hours after your MyMarietta account is created. The Office of Community Living uses the information you provide to make housing assignments and identify a potential roommate(s) for the 2025-2026 academic year.

If you are 23 or older, or live at a permanent primary residence of parent(s)/guardian(s) within 35 driving miles of Marietta College and wish to commute to Marietta College rather than live on our campus, you may petition for an exception to our residency requirement by emailing the Office of Community Living (OCL) at ocl@marietta.edu. Other conditions for exception consideration are outlined in the Marietta College catalog available on our website.
Upon notification of your interest in an exception to our residency requirement, the OCL will send you an email alerting you that you’ve been given access to the Petition functionality within the Residency Portal where you will submit your petition and make other related selections such as meal plan choice.
*Special note: Exception to the residency requirement does not translate to exceptions to other activities or actions, like the MC Pell Promise requirement which has a residential aspect for eligibility, so students are cautioned to think carefully about requested an exception to the MC residential requirement.

Step Five: Learn About Your Financial Aid Award
- If your FAFSA was selected for the FAFSA verification process, please complete that process by June 29, 2026. If you were selected for verification after your 2026-27 financial aid offer was completed, we will be required to remove your federal and need-based aid before your Fall bill is sent out on July 1. If a student completes verification after June 29, we will reinstate their financial aid on a case-by-case basis.
- If you are eligible for federal student loans, please accept or decline your loans by visiting selfservice.marietta.edu/Student/FinancialAid/Awards. Accepting your loans also requires you to both sign an electronic Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete Loan Entrance Counseling at studentaid.gov. Be sure to complete these requirements by July 1 to ensure your Fall bill is correct before the first payment is due on August 1.
- Students who are awarded Work-Study apply for campus jobs beginning August 1, 2026, by going to Handshake at https://marietta.joinhandshake.com/login
- Have a question or need clarification? Contact the Office of Student Financial Services at finaid@marietta.edu or at 740.376.4712.
Step Six: Learn About Billing and Payment Options
Bills are issued each semester. You will receive an email notification through your Marietta College email address that a billing statement is available. You can grant others access to view your bill, make online payments, or enroll in a payment plan by setting them up as an Authorized User a proxy.
The Student Accounts website provides instructions for setting up a Proxy for your student account. If you do not add a proxy to your student account, you will be the only person who can receive billing reminders, view your bill, and make online payments to your account.
Marietta College offers the Pioneer 4 Payment plan each semester. This plan allows a student who has an out-of-pocket balance for the semester to pay the amount owed in four payments during the semester. The Pioneer Payment Plan has a $75 enrollment fee. Each incoming freshman, transfer and undergrad student with an out-of-pocket balance is automatically enrolled. Enrollment in subsequent semesters will be automatic for each student who has satisfied all financial obligations to the College through timely payments. Students who pay the bill in full on or before the initial due date will not be charged the enrollment fee. The due date for the fall semester is August 1st, and January 5th for the spring semester. Contact the Office of Student Accounts at 740.376.4619 or www.marietta.edu/payment-options.
Step Seven: Purchase Your Books
Once you’ve registered for classes, you can purchase your textbooks and other course materials using Marietta College’s eCampus Bookstore.
This is an online bookstore, and no physical bookstore exists on campus, so you’ll need to use eCampus or another online vendor to purchase your textbooks and course materials.
You can have your textbooks and course materials delivered to your home address (make sure deliveries are scheduled to arrive prior to your departure for campus). Alternatively, you can have your purchases delivered to campus and pick them up when you arrive. If you order your items from eCampus and have them shipped to campus rather than your home address, they’ll be available for pick-up in the Pioneer Team Store in upper Gilman. If you order items from another vendor and have them shipped to campus rather than a home address, they will be available for pick-up through the College’s Mailroom in upper Gilman.
