The following checklist of items will help set you up so you can easily transition into the �������뿪����¼ community.

1. Submit your deposit to confirm your enrollment

Deposits Accepted Beyond May 1

While we encourage early confirmation, we'll gladly accept enrollment deposits even after the traditional May 1st deadline. This additional time ensures you receive your complete financial aid package and make a well-informed decision about joining our community.

Deposits Fully Refundable Until June 1 *

Your enrollment deposit will be refundable until June 1, minimizing financial pressure until you have all the information needed to fully consider your options while allowing you to move forward in the enrollment process.

DEPOSIT APPLIES TO YOUR FIRST SEMESTER

The $400 deposit credits toward your first-semester tuition and is refundable until June 1.

If you are a transfer student, the Office of Undergraduate Admission will provide you with a timeline. Please reach out to admission@hamline.edu or call 651-523-2207 with questions.

*International student enrollment deposits are non-refundable.

2. Apply for financial aid

Your financial aid package from �������뿪����¼ may consist of merit scholarships, talent scholarships, and need-based grants, loans, or work options. Your admission counselor can help guide you through the financial aid process if you have any questions.

New students who have paid the $400 enrollment deposit will be emailed instructions for completing the online housing application. Housing and dining contracts are available starting in April for students starting fall term and in December for students starting in the spring.

Transcripts must be official and should be sent from your high school directly to �������뿪����¼. Transcripts can be sent electronically or mailed by your high school to �������뿪����¼. 

• First-year students: �������뿪����¼ is test-optional. If you chose to have your ACT/SAT scores considered at the time of admission you will need to send in your official score report. An official copy can be sent to �������뿪����¼ by the relevant testing agency. 
• Transfer students: After your fall semester concludes, send your updated transcripts to �������뿪����¼ so we may evaluate them for course equivalencies.

Our mandatory on-campus orientations help new students jump into life at �������뿪����¼, meet other incoming students, and understand course registration. First-year students need to attend Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) and Fall Orientation, while fall and spring transfer students have their own Registration Days.

Your attendance is essential, as you will obtain important information at these orientation events. Additional information will be sent with course registration materials.

Billing information, including payment plan options and specific deadlines, will be mailed to all students who have paid their deposits.

Per �������뿪����¼’s Immunization Policy, �������뿪����¼ students must satisfy vaccination requirements. Students need to upload an official immunization record that includes legal name, date of birth and dates of administered immunizations. Failure to comply will result in a registration hold on their account.

Required immunizations

Immunizations currently required are:

• Tetanus booster (Tdap preferred or Td) within the last 10 years*
• 2 MMRs (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): 2 doses after age 12 months or proof of immunity*

*Minnesota law requires all students born after December 31, 1956, who enroll in a Minnesota college or university to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, and rubella. This law allows for some exemptions. Students who have had Measles, Mumps or Rubella may submit blood titer results to prove immunity. There is no titer that is acceptable as proof of immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, or COVID-19.

When are immunizations due?

• Immunizations should be submitted by August 1 for students enrolling in fall semester and February 1 for students enrolling in spring semester.

How do I submit documentation?

• Go to �������뿪����¼ Counseling and Health Services immunizations page for instructions on how to submit your immunization documentation.

All �������뿪����¼ undergraduate students are required to carry some form of sickness and accident insurance coverage, either your own or the �������뿪����¼-sponsored student insurance plan.

• Domestic students: If you have your own health insurance coverage, you may waive the �������뿪����¼-sponsored student health insurance plan at the time of registration by entering your insurance company and policy number into Piperline.
• Automatic enrollment: If you do not waive coverage, you will be automatically enrolled in (and billed for) the policy sponsored by �������뿪����¼.
• Future opt-in: If you have waived coverage through the �������뿪����¼-sponsored health insurance plan but wish to sign up at a later time, contact Student Accounts at 651-523-3000.
