Once that is complete, you should begin setting up your official U of M Email Account.

The ‘official’ means of communication at the U of M is email. Activate your account now. After activation you’ll receive important information about your upcoming Transfer Orientation experience, campus welcome events, and other ‘need-to-know’ information. After activation, return to your email account to get updated information regularly throughout the semester.

There are several different opportunities for living on or around campus. To make it simple, here are two places to start.

1. To live on campus as a new transfer student you should Apply Today. New transfers have options to apply to be part of a specific Living Learning Community (i.e. Leaders in Transition)or to live on campus near other new transfers. Either way, get your application in early in order to secure a spot.
2. Much of what the university considers as off-campus is within walking distance or a short bus ride to campus. Check out the off-campus housing link to start your search and explore these opportunities.

Understanding your student account is essential. Learn the basics and apply for aid. Have questions regarding your student account? Connect with our Onestop Student Services office.

Are you a resident of North Dakota, South Dakotas, Wisconsin, or Manitoba, Canada? Be sure to apply for reciprocity prior to the semester/term in which you plan to register.

In order to be admitted you likely submitted an official transcript or two from a previous institution(s). However, you may have had courses listed as ‘in-progress’ if you sent a transcript while you were still attending your previous school. Once you’ve received final grades from your previous coursework, be sure to send a fresh copy of your transcript with all your completed courses to the address below.

Note: If you have Advanced Placement (AP) test(s) or International Baccalaureate (IB) credit from high school you will need to send official copies of these test scores to the U of M, even if they appear on transcripts from your previous college or university. You can find more information regarding how these credits transfer to the U of M on the Office of Admissions website.

Orientation & Transition Experiences and your college of admission are your main contacts as you prepare to begin classes at the U of M. Check out this information for incoming transfer students to learn more about the orientation process and get started on your New Student Checklist.

Facebook- UMN Transfer Student Group

The UMN Transfer Facebook Group is a great place to start connecting to new transfers before you even arrive at orientation. Introduce yourself and find other students who are preparing or have previously transferred to ask them about their expectations and experiences.

Attend Transfer Welcome Day and Welcome Week

Be sure to check out Transfer Welcome Day in January (for spring transfers) and Welcome Week Transfer Track (for spring and fall transfers) at the start of fall semester to connect with other new transfer students and learn about campus resources.
