Congratulations on your acceptance to Alverno College!
Alverno Accepted Introduction
It's time to design your future — to learn new things, explore your passions and seize new opportunities. It's time to build a solid foundation for your career and get ready for wherever your path takes you.
The next step in your Alverno journey is enrollment — and we're here to guide you through the process. Check out the resources below to begin.
Your Next Steps
ENROLLMENT TIMELINE
STEP 1
Complete your financial aid application
The 2025-2026 FAFSA is now open! It is the only application to qualify for federal, state and institutional aid, which includes both grants and loans.
Why apply for federal aid?
Filing a FAFSA is the single most important thing you can do to get money for college. It's the gateway to more than $150 billion in college grants, work-study funds, and federal student loans, as well as certain state-based aid.
STEP 2
Activate your Alverno account
Your username and password give you access to your email, our housing application system and other campus resources, including Interactive Online (IOL). IOL is the hub for many important student transactions.
STEP 3
Make your enrollment deposit
Let's make it official! Secure your acceptance by paying your $100 enrollment deposit, which goes toward your tuition. Your payment can be made online via our Interactive Online (IOL) site or by phone at 414-382-6100. Once we receive your deposit, you will receive information about orientation.

You'll also enjoy meal service, free parking, a fitness center, a full calendar of activities and easy access to downtown Milwaukee.
