Congratulations!

You’ve got what it takes to succeed at the University of Michigan. Out of a large pool of applicants, we’ve selected you for admission to the University based on your academic achievements and outstanding record of extracurricular activities. You’ve accomplished much—that’s why we want you to attend a university where you can accomplish much, much more. We know this is a time you’ll be making the most important decisions about your future—our goal is to help. Throughout this next phase, we can answer your questions or concerns, guide you to resources, and help you forge a deeper connection with the University of Michigan—this is now your campus and we can definitely help you begin to feel at home here.

You’re ready for the next step. No matter what kind of information and resources you need to make your transition into the University—from finding out about creating a friend account to paying your enrollment deposit—you can locate it here.  You can find resources whether you are a Freshman, Transfer, or belong to our growing population of International Students. You can explore:

• Academic Calendar
• Student Resources
• Dates and Deadlines
• Housing
• International Student Information
  • Information Booklet
  • Financial Resources Statement
  • F-1 Transfer-In Form
  • J-1 Transfer-In Form

What to Do Next
To start your enrollment process, please take the following 4 steps:

1. 1. Tell us your enrollment plans as soon as you know, but no later than the enrollment deposit deadline (May 1 for Fall term). Paying non-refundable $200 enrollment deposit will secure your place in your class. 

2. 2. Get your uniqname! This is your University of Michigan computing user ID and will be part of your U-M email address. Once you’ve paid your enrollment deposit, it will provide an easy way to access University services that will be important to you, from financial aid to student business transactions. Your University of Michigan "uniqname" is the key to it all. After you’ve been admitted and paid your enrollment deposit, you will receive your OTID (One-Time ID) by email. The next step is to visit the uniqname website with your OTID and get started!

3. 3. Set up your campus living arrangements. Your new uniqname will enable you to apply online to live in a residence hall. Once you have paid your University enrollment deposit, you will be able to access an online residence hall application. If you submit your application by the deadline noted on the application, you will be eligible to participate in a residence hall lottery that will put you in line for a room. Questions? The staff at University Housing will be happy to answer them for you.

4. 4. Start the process of earning Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit by making sure your exam results have been submitted to our office by the testing agencies. International students may also receive advanced standing credit by submitting the results of A-Levels or other international matriculation examinations.

If You're a Transfer Student
Transfer your credits! To transfer non-U-M credits, you need to ask the registrar of your current/previous school to send official transcripts (with all course work posted) directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. If a final transcript is not available at the time of admission or when you are planning to transfer, you will receive a tentative evaluation of transferable credits prior to Orientation. A copy will also be given to the academic advisors to assist you during Orientation and registration. Evaluation of most professional credits is made during and shortly after registration week by the Schools and Colleges in which you are enrolling. General course equivalency information is available.

If you are currently an F-1 visa holder who has studied at another institution in the United States within the last 5 months, we require an additional form in addition to the FRS and supporting financial documentation.  The Transfer-In Form is composed of two sections to be filled out by you and your current school's DSO (Designated School Official) or International Student Advisor (ISA).  This form should be completed and submitted along with the FRS and your supporting financial documents.

Start Your Michigan Journey
Take these steps and you are that much closer to beginning your life as a student in one of the most dynamic universities in the country. We value your talents and abilities—it’s time to bring them to life in a challenging and exciting campus community. You belong here!
