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
Fall class. To confirm your enrollment online visit z.umn.edu/confirm and pay your
non-refundable $150 confirmation fee by May 1.
Confirmation forms and fees submitted after the deadline noted on your admission
materials are accepted on a space-available basis. If you were admitted after April 17,
your confirmation deadline is within two weeks of your date of admission.
APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
Students who are U.S. citizens, U.S. national, or eligible non-citizens can submit the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). We encourage all students to apply for financial aid, even if they think they may not be eligible.
Be sure to release your FAFSA information to us by including U of M Twin Cities Federal School Code: 003969.
When you submit the FAFSA, we will consider you for grants, loans, work-study, and need-based scholarships!
Estimated financial aid packages will be sent starting the spring of 2025 for students who have a FAFSA on file and
a complete financial aid record.
Note: The Department of Education (ED) has not confirmed an exact release date, but the FAFSA will likely be
available December 2024. For up-to-date information, visit the Federal Student Aid website at http://studentaid.gov.

INTERNATIONAL 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. After you have confirmed your enrollment,
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.
Questions about the I-20 request? Email isssnew@umn.edu.
Students on temporary visas are not eligible to apply for U.S. or state of Minnesota financial aid programs.
