Your Next Steps as an Admitted Student at the University of Michigan-Flint

Step 2. Submit the FAFSA to apply for financial aid

We strongly encourage all eligible students to submit the FAFSA, regardless of economic or academic background. The FAFSA determines eligibility for various types of aid, including the Pell Grant, Michigan Achievement Scholarship, and Go Blue Guarantee. Use our school code (002327) to have your completed FAFSA sent to UM-Flint.

Step 3. Apply for Housing

Live on campus, steps away from your classes and instructors. We offer two attractive, affordable, and safe residence halls for students looking for the convenience of university housing and a community of fellow students. Learn more about your housing options and apply online. Please note that students are not required to live on campus.

Step 4. Register for New Student Orientation

Orientation is required for incoming first-year and transfer students and is available to all other students. First-year students must attend orientation in person. Transfer students may attend in person or online. During orientation, you will:

• Register for and find your classes (first-year students only)
• Familiarize yourself with our campus and academic programs
• Learn about student services
• Meet with an academic advisor
• Connect with fellow students

Step 5. Take required placement exams

Most incoming first-year and transfer students are required to take one or more placement exams. Placement exams are taken online through Canvas and should be completed at least two weeks before you attend orientation.

Step 6. Submit official, final transcripts from previous schools

Incoming first-year students must submit an official, final high school transcript including proof of graduation. Most high schools will be able to provide a final transcript in early June. If you have completed any college coursework before high school graduation, we must have an official transcript from that college to award transfer credit.

Transfer students must submit official transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended. If you submitted official transcripts with your application, new transcripts are only needed if you have completed additional coursework at that institution.

To be considered official, a transcript must be sent to UM-Flint directly from the issuing institution, either electronically or by mail. Transcripts emailed by students are not considered official.
