Enrollment Deposit Guidelines
Regulations Governing the Enrollment Deposit for Freshmen and New Transfer Students Admitted for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall 2010
STUDENTS WHO INTEND TO ENROLL
All admitted freshmen and new transfer students who intend to enroll at the University of Michigan must submit a nonrefundable $200 enrollment deposit by the appropriate deadline. This may be completed online by e-check through Wolverine Access OR in the form of a check or money order (in US dollars) made payable to University of Michigan accompanied by the Enrollment Deposit Request form, found online at Wolverine Access. (If you have not done so already, you will need to create a “Friend Account” to login to Wolverine Access; please see our Step by Step Instructions for Creating a Friend Account.) Print off the Enrollment Deposit form, and mail to:
Student Financial Operations
The University of Michigan
2226 Student Activities Building
515 East Jefferson
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1316
If you would like to mail your enrollment deposit, but are unable to print the required Enrollment Deposit form from Wolverine Access, click here and request that the form be emailed to you. Please use a subject line of “EDR Form” and include your full name, UMID, and full mailing address.
If mailing in payment, the EDR form must be postmarked by the following deadlines:
| Winter 2010 | December 1, 2009 |
| Spring 2010 | April 1, 2010 |
| Summer 2010 | May 1, 2010 |
| Fall 2010 | May 1, 2010 |
Note: If the admission package is mailed from the admissions office too close to the above due dates, an extended due date will be established by our office.
The Fine Print
The Enrollment Deposit is nonrefundable from the time it is submitted. Failure to enroll for the admitted term will result in forfeiture of the $200 deposit. The Enrollment Deposit and EDR form must be mailed together to the University by the appropriate deadline. Please include the UMID student number and the notation “For Enrollment Deposit” on the check or money order (which must be drawn in US dollars). The UMID student number is listed on the EDR form, directly below the student’s name. DO NOT SEND CASH. DO NOT SEND A CREDIT CARD NUMBER. The return of the deposit and EDR form holds an enrollment space in the School or College of the University and for the specific term to which the student has been admitted.
The EDR form alone, facsimiles of the check, or calls to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions are not sufficient to hold a place at the University. Because of space limitations, deposits and EDR forms postmarked after the deadline may not be accepted and admission may be cancelled. Do not send the $200 deposit to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
In cases of financial inability to pay the $200 deposit by the deadline, a written explanation of the circumstances preventing payment must be received in the Admissions Office for consideration prior to the deadline. Participation in the Michigan Education Trust (MET) and partial scholarships do not exempt students from payment of the deposit. Students who have not received a financial aid package prior to the enrollment decision deadline should contact the Financial Aid Office at 734.763.6600. If a package estimate is not available, students should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to discuss an extension of the deadline. No written notification of receipt of payment will be sent. THE CANCELLED CHECK IS THE STUDENT’S RECEIPT.
The $200 payment is a deposit towards the student’s fees when the student enrolls at the University; therefore, when paying fees during the first term on campus, the student should verify that the $200 deposit has been deducted from the total amount assessed. Housing and Orientation information is sent to students once U-M has received and processed their enrollment deposit. Questions regarding housing and orientation should be directed to those offices.
Housing Information Office: 734.763.3164 or housing@umich.edu.
Office of New Student Programs: 734.764.6413 or onsp@umich.edu.
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT INTEND TO ENROLL
Students who wish to cancel their admission should complete the online form at “Application Status” on Wolverine Access OR complete the EDR form found online at Wolverine Access and return it to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by the deadline so that we may make the necessary changes in the University’s records. Cancellations must be in writing; we cannot take cancellations over the phone. This will prevent any inappropriate mailings.
Mail the EDR form with the "cancel" box checked without the $200 deposit to:
OFFICE OF UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS
The University of Michigan
1220 Student Activities Building
515 E. Jefferson St.
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1316
