WHAT’S NEXT?
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. Confirm your enrollment online at z.umn.edu/confirm by May 1.
The website will prompt you to confirm your enrollment and pay your non-refundable $280 confirmation fee using a credit card.
Need to postpone your enrollment?
You have been admitted for fall semester 2022. If you decide to postpone your first semester of enrollment for any reason, you must contact the Office of Admissions so we may consider your application for a later semester.
NOTE: Confirmations submitted after the May 1 deadline are accepted on a space-available basis only. Confirm by May 1!
APPLY FOR HOUSING
To ensure your top choice for on campus living, it is important to apply as early as possible at housing.umn.edu. Since housing space is limited, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities assigns housing on a first-come, first- served basis. This means the earlier you apply for housing, the better your chances of being assigned to your preferred hall or apartment.
For international housing information such as on-campus, off-campus and temporary housing, visit: housing.umn.edu/international.
You can apply for housing even before you confirm your enrollment. The U of M guarantees housing to all admitted first-year students who are willing to accept assignment to any space, and who:
1. Submit the housing application and non-refundable housing application fee to Housing & Residential Life no later than May 1; and
2. ConfirmtheirenrollmentwiththeOfficeofAdmissionsnolaterthanMay1.
Students who apply for housing after May 1 are placed in housing on a space-available basis.
The housing application opens in early November. To apply, visit housing.umn.edu.
SUBMIT YOUR UNDERGRADUATE NEW STUDENT I-20 REQUEST
All international students studying on an F-1 student visa are required to submit an Undergraduate New Student I-20 Request at z.umn.edu/I-20Request_NewUndergrad as soon as possible, but no later than August 1.
The Undergraduate New Student I-20 Request is required not only to obtain an I-20 and F-1 visa, but also to transfer your I-20 and F-1 visa status from your current U.S. school to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. More information at isss.umn.edu/new.
