Complete these important steps before arriving on campus.

Step 1: Confirm your Enrollment
Confirm your enrollment. Confirming your enrollment is the next step in becoming a UMD Bulldog. Confirmed students will, later be invited to sign up for New Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (OAR).
Make sure you have the following items on hand to confirm your intent to enroll:
- Student ID Number: this is found on your admission letter from UMD.
- Credit Card: using a credit card is the easiest way to pay the non-refundable confirmation fee.

Step 2: Sign up for Orientation, Advisement and Registration (OAR)
Orientation, Advisement and Registration (OAR) is a multifaceted experience that takes place prior to starting at UMD. Students will be invited via their UMD email address to sign up for an Orientation Date. You can expect this process to begin in early November for students starting spring 2022 and early March for students starting fall 2022.
For questions about OAR, you can reach out to the Bulldog Resource Center at 218-726-6393 or [email protected].

Step 3: Financial Aid
Complete your FAFSA and have the information sent to UMD (Federal School Code: 002388). We understand that incoming students and their families will have questions regarding their financial aid. A helpful resource page is available to assist you. If you can't find what you're looking for there, our staff at One Stop Student Services would be delighted to assist you. Email us at [email protected] or call 218-726-8000.
