New Second Degree Nursing Student Enrollment Checklist

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, determines your eligibility for grants, need-based scholarships, loans, and work-study programs. The FAFSA becomes available each year on October 1 (opened in November 2024 for the 2025-26 school year) and the Pennsylvania state deadline to complete the FAFSA is May 1. Even if you don’t believe you will qualify for any aid, it is usually still worth submitting your FAFSA for various reasons. When filing your FAFSA, use the RMU school code (003359) to have your information sent directly to the Office of Financial Aid at RMU.

File Your FAFSA

Click on “Activate Account” in the Sentry Secured Services box on the right side of the screen. You can access the information you need to activate your account (if you don’t already have it) via your admissions portal. You’ll need to complete this step before moving on to anything else on the RMU website.

Financial Aid To-Do List

How do I complete this requirement?

Each year, you will be able to log on to the QM Services website and make your choice. You have two options to satisfy this requirement. Please note that calls to university offices, verbal statements, and written correspondence to the university do not constitute waivers of coverage.

Visit the QM Services Website

(Note the QM Services site is accessible from a desktop or laptop computer – not a smartphone or tablet)

1. Enroll in the SHIP. The charge for the coverage will remain on your RMU student account and your enrollment with the carrier will be processed. The annual plan year is from August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026.
2. Waive the SHIP with your own insurance that meets the university’s requirements. Provide your insurance information to QM Services, and once reviewed and approved, the annual charge for the student health insurance will be removed from your RMU student account.
