Missing UMN Code

I applied for Computer Science on Jan 1 via Common App. It is my understanding there is an application tracker on the main site which applicants can access using a UMN code. However, it’s been 3 days since I applied, and I still haven’t received a code. Does anyone know what the reason for this is, or is it normal?

It takes about a week if you wait for them to send you an email. You can call admissions to get your code sooner.

They should have the ID # ready for your once the application is processed. Sometimes that can take a few days as well. Call Friday and if they don’t have it ready for you by then they’ll very likely have it by next week. Waiting for an e-mail can take forever. We’ve had three kids apply to UMN and not one received an e-mail for that code.
