UND Admitted Student Day

Join us Friday, March 1 in Grand Forks!

Figuring out where you'll spend the next four years of your life is a big decision. A lot of factors go into that decision, and we want to give you (and your parents) every opportunity to explore the University of North Dakota.

Take this special opportunity to see what it's like to be a student at UND. Even if you've been to UND before, this experience goes beyond the standard campus visit. You'll have the chance to interact with UND professors in the classroom, hear directly from a panel of UND students, meet other students considering UND and explore the parts of campus that interest you the most.

Plus, you might be one of the 10 lucky students chosen to win a $1,000 UND scholarship for your fall 2019 semester! (You must be present to win.)

Who Should Attend?

Undecided Students

UND Admitted Student Day is especially suited to newly admitted freshmen and families who have not yet committed to UND and who want to experience more of the campus before making a decision by May 1. 

If you haven’t decided where to go in the fall, this is your chance to ask questions, get to know our campus, and learn if UND is the right fit for you before it's time to make your final college decision.

Committed Students

If you've decided UND is the place for you, you're welcome to attend this special event to get a better feel for life at UND. We'd love to have you join us!

Please note: Admitted Student Day is not a new student orientation program. This event is designed for admitted students (who haven't yet committed to UND) to learn more about UND academics, ask questions and meet other high school seniors who are considering UND. Once freshmen commit to UND and pay the enrollment confirmation deposit, they're expected to attend New Student Orientation in June or July to register for their classes.
