How to Apply, Visit, or Request Information at Robert Morris University (rmu.edu)

Prospective students can take any of three next steps directly from rmu.edu: Apply Now to start an application, Request Information to get on the university's contact list, or book a Virtual Tour or in-person visit to see the campus. Accepted students have a separate path — submitting an enrollment deposit and working through an enrollment checklist. The right entry point depends on where you are in the process: exploring, applying, or already admitted.

Choose Your Entry Point

Applying

The homepage places Apply Now alongside Request Information and Virtual Tour as the primary calls to action, so the application is reachable in one click from the front page. Before applying, it helps to know what you're applying to: RMU organizes its offerings into undergraduate programs, graduate programs, doctoral programs, and certificates, spread across four schools. The site describes a professional focus, with courses taught by faculty who have real-world experience.

If cost is the open question before you commit, the homepage links a personalized cost calculator ("Calculate Your Personalized Cost"), and the admissions and financial aid offices are described as working together on affordability resources. Current tuition figures and aid details are not specified on the homepage itself, so use the calculator and the financial services pages rather than assuming a number.

Requesting Information

Request Information is the lowest-commitment step and sits next to Apply Now in the main calls to action. Use it if you want admissions to contact you before you're ready to apply — for example, if you need to confirm whether a specific program fits your background or want materials sent to you.

Visiting Campus

RMU sits on 230 scenic acres near Pittsburgh, and the site frames the location as big-city access in a safe suburban setting — minutes from Pittsburgh but with the feel of a small college. Two visit options are offered:

• Virtual Tour — a remote way to get a sense of campus before traveling.
• In-person visit — the site invites you to meet students, talk with faculty, and explore labs, classes, and dorms. Scheduling is done through the visit page linked from the homepage.

A practical sequence for most families: take the virtual tour first to narrow interest, then book an in-person visit that includes time with faculty in your intended program, since lab and classroom access is part of what the visit is designed to show.

After You're Accepted

Admitted students move to a different set of actions. The homepage directs accepted students to submit an enrollment deposit to secure a spot for Fall 2026, followed by an enrollment checklist. Deposit and checklist links are grouped together on the site, so accepted students should start there rather than with the admissions inquiry forms.

Common Sticking Points

• Using the inquiry form when you mean to apply. Request Information adds you to the contact list; it does not start an application. If you're ready, use Apply Now.
• Skipping the cost calculator. The homepage promotes a personalized estimate, which is more useful than a general figure for planning.
• Missing the deposit deadline for your term. The site ties the deposit to Fall 2026 entry; confirm your term's timing through the admissions office.
• Assuming a single visit covers everything. If you're deciding between programs, ask for faculty or lab time when scheduling rather than relying on a general tour.

For anything not covered on the homepage — specific deadlines, program-level requirements, or aid paperwork — the admissions and financial aid offices are the stated points of contact.
