Campus Connection

Campus Connection is the system that you'll use to apply for housing, pay your enrollment confirmation deposit, accept or decline financial aid awards, register for classes, pay your bill and more (see additional steps below).

Financial Aid

Go to studentaid.gov to complete the 2020-21 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You'll use your 2018 income taxes to prepare your FAFSA. Apply early as funding is not guaranteed past the February 1 priority deadline.

Transferring

Since you've already completed the 2020-21 FAFSA at another school, you'll need to:

• Cancel any unprocessed aid from your current school.
• Add UND's school code to your 2020-21 FAFSA so it can be processed for spring financial aid.

UND's FAFSA school code is 003005.

If you have any questions, contact UND One-Stop Student Services at 701.777.1234.

You may be eligible for scholarships and tuition waivers that require separate application processes, including through our online database, Scholarship Central, which is home to more than 800 scholarship opportunities.

Transfer Credits

Don't pay for college twice! Before you register for classes, it's very important that advisors are aware of any college-level credits you may have earned while you were in high school or college. If we don't have your official college transcripts, the credits you've already completed won't be transferred to UND.

UND Office of Admissions
3501 University Ave, Stop 8357
Grand Forks, ND 58202-8357

Advanced Placement (AP) Credits

In order for UND to apply Advanced Placement (AP) credits appropriately, please ask the College Board to send your scores directly to UND (1.888.225.5427 or apscore.collegeboard.org/scores).

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Credits
