On-Campus Admitted Students

We know this is a huge decision, so please take your time!  Whenever you are ready, log into your Golden Eagle Account to make your decision.

Let us know your enrollment decision by clicking "Accept" or "Decline" when you're ready.  

• If you accept your admission, please continue on to paying your enrollment deposit.  
• If you decline your admission, please let us know and you can stop here.

U of M Crookston requires an enrollment deposit that covers all costs associated with becoming a Golden Eagle (think: course registration, Welcome Weekend/Transition Crookston, etc.).  The $200 deposit is non-refundable and can be paid through your Golden Eagle account.  Upon depositing, you will be able to apply for housing and activate your UMN email account.

Are finances holding you back?  We are here to help.  We understand that the enrollment deposit can be a challenge, so U of M Crookston offers an option to defer the enrollment deposit.  Please note: the enrollment deposit is not waived but rather deferred to your student account to be paid with tuition and fees.  You can defer your deposit by filling out the following form: Enrollment Deposit Deferment.

If you have questions about paying your enrollment deposit, please contact the Office of Admissions or Educational Programs and Transitions.

If you have not visited our beautiful campus yet, we encourage you to do so!  Schedule a Campus Experience where you will meet with an admissions counselor, take a campus tour with a current student, and talk with our Financial Aid office.  We will also arrange an in-person or virtual meeting with faculty if available.

To ensure you can complete important items like applying for housing and specialty scholarships, you will need to activate your student account.

If you have previously enrolled with a UMN campus as a Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO), College in the High School (CIHS), non-degree student, or are transferring from another UMN campus, you do not need to initiate your account.  If you do not remember your account information, contact 1-HELP at 612-301-4357.

Be sure to remember your UMN Student ID number and password.  You will need these for every step throughout this process.  

Everyone wants money to pay for college, and the FAFSA is the best way to get that.  If you have not already done so, submit and share your FAFSA with U of M Crookston.

Be sure to use the U of M Crookston School Code: 004069
