New Student Application Process 

For college credit programs

For United States Domestic Students

Step 1. Fill out an inquiry form.
Please use a personal email account, not a school affiliated email address, as most servers block external emails.

Allow 3 business days to receive your account set-up email invitation.

Start Application

Step 2. Finish setting up your account.
You will receive an email from umprecollege@myschoolapp.com with steps to create your Admissions Portal through our Blackbaud MySchoolApp system. From there, you can immediately view your admissions checklist.

Step 3. Complete your application and checklist items.
Our admissions team will have assigned your program’s checklist for you to complete before the program deadline.

The application will include standard questions (e.g., contact information, academic history, current GPA, etc.) as well as instructions to complete the UM Undergraduate application.

You will need to submit a current official transcript and school approval to determine admissibility to the program. To avoid admission delays, we recommend uploading these two documents within 5 days of creating an account.

Step 4. Await admission results, and complete pre-arrival checklist.
We will notify admissions between 2-4 weeks after all checklist steps are complete. After admission, you can complete your pre-arrival documentation.
