CONFIRM YOUR ENROLLMENT
When you confirm your enrollment, you are declaring your intent to attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and we will hold a place for you in the incoming class. To confirm your enrollment online visit z.umn.edu/confirm and pay your non-refundable $280 confirmation fee by May 1.
Confirmation forms and fees postmarked after May 1 are accepted on a space- available basis.
INTERNATIONAL NEXT STEP: SUBMIT YOUR UNDERGRADUATE NEW
STUDENT I-20 REQUEST
All international students who need an F-1 visa to study at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities must request
an I-20 document from the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office. Complete the Undergraduate New Student I-20 Request at myisss.umn.edu as soon as possible, but no later than August 1. The form can also be accessed directly through this link: z.umn.edu/I-20Request_NewUndergrad.
The Undergraduate New Student I-20 Request is required for all new F-1 undergraduate students, including students who will transfer their I-20 and F-1 visa status from a current U.S. school to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. More information at isss.umn.edu/new.
APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
U.S. students can submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starting October 1. The FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.gov. Be sure to release your FAFSA information to us by including U of M Federal School Code: 003969.
When you submit the FAFSA, we will consider you for grants, loans, work-study, and need-based scholarships! If you complete the FAFSA by March 1, you will receive an estimated financial aid package prior to May 1. We encourage all students to apply for financial aid, even if they think they may not be eligible.
Students on temporary visas are not eligible to apply for U.S. or state of Minnesota financial aid programs.
