Enroll

DECISION DAY FEBRUARY 14, 2025 @3:00PM

• DEADLINE: MARCH 14, 2025 BY 11:59PM

• ENROLLMENT FEE AND WHAT IT’S FOR
  • The enrollment fee's primary purpose is to secure your student's spot in next year's enrollment lists, but those funds are used for a multitude of things as we prepare for the upcoming school year, including but not limited to):
    • Putting students into their schedules and working through revisions once schedules are released
    • Administering placement tests
    • Student orientations and retreats that take place at the start of the new school year
    • Leadership Training for our student leaders who will run many of the sessions during those retreats and orientations

• HOW TO ENROLL
  • Sign into MACCESS
  • Click on “1 Contract to Review” at the top of the screen
  • Review, initial, and sign pages as prompted.  
  • Pay the non-refundable $450 enrollment fee on the last page.
    • If there are 2 responsible signers listed on the contract, each signer must log in to their own MACCESS account to initial and sign.  If you need assistance with logging into MACCESS, please contact admissions@bmhs.org.

• NO EXTENSIONS
  • Acceptance into Bishop McNamara does not guarantee enrollment. It is in your family’s best interest to enroll your student as soon as possible by the enrollment deadline. Historically, our freshmen class has filled up by the end of March. To secure your student’s seat, you must sign the contract and pay the $450 non-refundable enrollment fee by the enrollment deadline of March 14, 2025.

Retaining each BMHS family is essential for our community to continue thriving in excellence!  Each year, families will receive a Re-Enrollment Contract for the upcoming school year.  It is imperative that families adhere to all Re-Enrollment deadlines so that the Administrative, Admissions, and Counseling Teams can prepare for the upcoming school year.  Failure to Re-Enroll during the designated window could result in your student being placed on a waiting list for the upcoming school year.

Re-Enrollment Contracts must be signed by parents (based on who has been designated as a Responsible Signer in MACCESS) and the Re-Enrollment Fee must be paid at that time.  Included in the Re-Enrollment Contract will be any financial aid or scholarships that have been awarded.  

For any financial aid or scholarships that are awarded after the Re-Enrollment window, these awards are applied retroactively and are reflected in your FACTS payment plan.  

For the 25-26 school year, Re-Enrollment Contracts will be available in MACCESS on Friday, February 28, 2025.  Re-enrollment contracts can be accessed by logging into your MACCESS account.  Once you’ve logged in, you’ll see a yellow ribbon at the top of your screen that says “1 Contract to Review.”  

Please note that if there are two responsible signers listed on the contract, each signer must log in to their own MACCESS account to initial and sign.  If you need assistance with logging into MACCESS, please contact admissions@bmhs.org.

Fees and Deadlines for Re-Enrollment are as follows:

Early Re-Enrollment Deadline: Friday, March 14, 2025
Fee: $350
Final Re-Enrollment Deadline: Friday, April 4, 2025
Fee: $450

Financial Holds

Please note that unsettled payments with the BMHS business office will result in a financial hold, which prevents you from receiving a Re-Enrollment Contract.  Once the hold has been removed, the Contract will appear in MACCESS.
