First-Year and Transfer Accepted Students

  1. Visit sage.edu/deposit and log in using your new sage credentials (you received this information in an email shortly after your acceptance letter was sent; reach out to [email protected] if you have trouble locating it). 
  2. Continue to the payment center to read and accept the electronic consent agreement.
  3. Select your preferred Refund Delivery Method (direct deposit or check). 
  4. Lastly, click Deposit. Choose a term, payment option, and payment method.

We know, this is the boring part but totally necessary! If you haven’t done so already submit your 2023-2024 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using 2021 income information to apply for federal financial aid like work-study, grants, and loans. Make sure to use the Russell Sage College Federal School Code 002810.

It is important to visit campus as an accepted student (even if you have already done so prior to your acceptance). Find the full list of accepted student events and details at sage.edu/visit.

Make sure you’ve submitted official transcripts from any college of university you previously attended. This will notify our Registrar office so they can evaluate your transcripts and let you know what credits transfer to Sage ( and you’ll know how long it will take to finish your degree)! Reach out to our dedicated transfer counselor, Ray Rodriguez with questions.
