NEXT STEPS
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 spring class. To confirm your enrollment online visit z.umn.edu/confirm and pay your non-refundable $95 confirmation fee by November 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 October 18, your confirmation deadline is within two weeks of your date of admission.
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 December 15. 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.
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 2023-2024 FAFSA (now available at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa), we will consider you for grants, loans, work-study, and need-based scholarships! Financial aid packages will be sent starting in mid-November 2023 for students who have a FAFSA on file and a complete financial aid record.
Note: The Department of Education (ED) is making significant changes to the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This will change how financial aid is calculated, and when the FAFSA is available to students.
The ED has not confirmed an exact release date, but the FAFSA will likely be available in December 2023. For up-to-date information, visit the Federal Student Aid website at http://studentaid.gov.
This is an evolving situation and if details change, the Office of Admissions will send you updates via the email address you used for the admissions applications. You can also view updates at z.umn.edu/2024AidInfo.
Students on temporary visas are not eligible to apply for U.S. or state of Minnesota financial aid programs.
