Freshman Orientation Programs

Make your transition to UND.

Follow the steps below to prepare to attend UND for fall 2022.

1. Claim Account and Confirm Enrollment

Let us know you're coming to UND! To confirm your enrollment for fall 2022, you must pay a $200 nonrefundable deposit. The deposit is a prepayment applied to tuition, fees or other charges on your UND bill.

You must claim your account and pay your deposit at least two business days before you'll be able to complete Step 2 of the process.

Your UND email is where we will send information about financial aid, housing and other UND items. Check your email regularly.

How to Claim Your Account

To gain access to many of the systems you'll need as a UND student, you must activate your student account within the North Dakota University System (NDUS).

To claim your account:

1. Go to UND.edu/claim.
2. Find your student ID number (also known as your EMPLID) on your acceptance letter or by following the steps under the "Find my EMPLID" menu.
3. Click "Claim Your Account".
4. Follow the steps as indicated.

Once you've claimed your account, you don't have to go through the process again. Keep your username and password in a safe and secure place.
