Confirm Enrollment
When you confirm your enrollment, you are declaring your intent to attend the University of Minnesota TwinCities, and we will hold a place for you in the incoming transfer class. To confirm your enrollment, you will need to submit a nonrefundable confirmation fee by the deadline noted on your admission materials.
Note: the confirmation fee for spring and fall transfer students are: $95 (spring 2024 transfer students), and $150 (fall 2024 transfer students)
Confirm Your Enrollment
Submit Official Documents
Students must submit official, final transcripts from all colleges or universities that they have attended, even if no credit was earned. Once transcripts are received, we will email instructions to view your transfer credit evaluation. This evaluation will show the courses and total credits transferred, the courses that did not transfer, as well as how the transfer courses will fulfill any of the University’s liberal education requirements.
In addition to submitting final transcripts from all colleges or universities that you have attended, successful completion of high school graduation is a U of M enrollment requirement. In order to verify you have completed this requirement, your final transcript, including date of graduation, is due to the Office of Admissions by the date listed on your admission materials.
Attend Transfer Student Orientation
After confirming your enrollment, you will receive an invitation to orientation from your college of admission. Orientation is required for all transfer students. During orientation you will meet with an academic advisor and register for classes, become familiar using the University’s course management tool Canvas, and connect with other transfer students.
