I'm Admitted - What's Next?
Now that you've been admitted to the University of Maryland, there are a number of steps to take to connect with our community and learn more about becoming a student at Maryland.
1. Check your decision online. This site will give you important information about your major, residency status, and whether or not you have been admitted to any special programs. Explore what awaits you in your academic major or find out more about residency requirements!
2. Respond to your offer of admission. If you choose to confirm your enrollment (and we hope you do!), please return to your admission decision letter on the application portal. You will need to log-in to the application portal using your PIN and password. Please click on "Your application decision is now available online." Within your letter is a hyperlink that allows you to confirm your enrollment and pay your $400 enrollment deposit. It may take up to 48 business hours for your confirmation to be processed and posted to your record. If you decide not to attend UMD, you may also decline your offer of admission through the application portal.
3. While confirming your enrollment, submit your non-refundable $400 enrollment deposit to reserve your space in the incoming class. This enrollment deposit will be applied to your tuition. If you choose not to pay your enrollment deposit by credit card, our confirmation site will provide further instructions for how you may submit this deposit.
4. To request housing and select dining preferences, complete the online housing request form available through the application portal. Find out more about on and off campus housing and dining.
