3.) Accessing the System

• Here, you will enter information about yourself in the required fields.
• It is helpful to have a list of your extracurricular activities ready to list on your application.
• Once you move past the ‘general application’ you will need to attach the most recent copy of your unofficial transcript - If you do not know how to attach your current transcript, continue on to the next page

4.) Attaching a copy of your unofficial transcript

For UCM Students

• Log into MyCentral with your student 700 number and password.
• Once logged on, click the ‘Student Services’ tab.
• On the right side of the ‘Student Services’ page, under ‘UCM Student Records’ click the link ‘unofficial transcript.’
• On the next page, under ‘transcript level’ select ‘all levels’ and hit submit.
• The next page shown is your unofficial transcript, highlight the page (right click, and select all), copy it (Ctrl-C), and paste it (Ctrl-V) into a word document.
• Save the document where you can remember to find it and upload it to your ‘general application.’

For Incoming Freshman

• Please attach your 7th semester transcript to your application. If you have dual credit from another institution, please attach that transcript as well. Reminder: only save transcript as a word document or PDF.

For Transfer Students

• Please attach your latest unofficial transcript from your current school. Also, include any transcripts from other institutions where you have received college credit.

5.) Reviewing Scholarship Opportunities
• Once you have completed your ‘general application’ you will be able to access and apply for scholarships.
• MoCents will automatically apply you to scholarships you may qualify for based on your general application. For example, if the scholarship criteria required a math major with a 3.0 grade point average, and you meet those qualifications, your application will automatically be considered. You do not have to do any further action concerning that scholarship.
• However, students may have “recommended opportunities” that they could qualify for based on their answers on the general application.
• Keep in mind, these scholarships may require you to answer further questions, write additional essays, or provide letters of reference in order to be considered for the scholarship.
• Please review these requirements carefully. If you answer ‘no’ to a qualifying question, you are probably not eligible for that scholarship.
