<p>We should be getting a letter in the mail along with financial aid info.</p>
<p>I received an official letter in the mail today. About 4pm when I checked my mailbox. It was just the acceptance letter and a sticker for the fridge. I assume that everything else will follow once they process it (e.g., financial aid, orientation,…)</p>
<p>@nathoumd: Same here. Any idea when we’ll hear about financial aid? Will it be available online or through mail?</p>
<p>Yep pretty boring letter in the mail. I sure hope I hear something from the Transfer Scholarship soon!</p>
<p>@Fabulous326 We should hear both through email and mail, I believe. But, always check both. You never know what might be missing from your file!! You need to be on top of it so you don’t miss any deadline. </p>
<p>I just looked at all the steps we need to do before class starts. I was like “Crap”- There is a lot to do. And I didn’t know Orientation was $106 !!!</p>
<p>@nathoumd: Wow! Ok. I did not know there would be so many steps! I’m most worried about housing, though. I’m still waiting to hear back from other schools.</p>
<p>How do you check for missing forms? I haven’t seen any tab indicating such on the UMD “applyyourself” app. Is there a different portal we should create?</p>
<p>Hopefully financial aid is on its way!</p>
<p>@nathoumd and @Fabulous326 where can we find the steps needed to take before classes start?</p>
<p>@Yoshi45 That’s what I’m wondering…</p>
<p>@Yoshi45 - All the steps you need to accomplish are found at this link:
[University</a> of Maryland - New Student Orientation](<a href=“http://www.orientation.umd.edu/transferoverview.html]University”>http://www.orientation.umd.edu/transferoverview.html)</p>
<p>First thing is to pay the $400 deposit fee. There is also a placement tests ( math and Foreign language) and you furnish immunization forms prior to the orientation. </p>
<p>If there is anything missing, they should let you know. But I guess, you have to be on top of things. Only if you decide to attend they should follow up with next steps.</p>
<p>Not like this is really imperative but I kind want my package in the mail so I can get the magnet ;)</p>
<p>I need to get on the ball too though. I don’t want to be pushy but we don’t have that much time! But I can’t do anything officially until I hear from financial aid! Anyone been able to access that? Or create themselves the University Directory?</p>
<p><em>Update</em>
Our names should be in the system. I tried again just now to create myself in the system and I was able too, this also includes an e-mail address. However, not sure on Financial Aid yet.</p>
<p>@nathoumd thank you for the link. i’m trying to make my e-mail and account for transfer credit evaluation and just in general to get things going but i think i have to wait a few days since i only recently received my acceptance (says wait 10 days after receiving letter)</p>
<p>also does anyone know the deadline date in which we have to let Maryland know if we intend to attend?</p>
<p>for those whom were wondering about financial aid, i called today, i was told that financial aid packages will come out by the end of april.</p>
<p>@ForzaNatalia: That’s the thing: time is of the essence right now! How do we create a portal account to access forms and such (incl. financial aid)? </p>
<p>Can we submit housing forms even if we haven’t yet declared an intent to enroll? Just in case? I know that dorm housing in CP is impossible.</p>
<p>The end of April…hmm that’s not jiving right! I just want to make sure I can get housing and well…go to begin with! </p>
<p>@Fabulous326 Here’s the link to follow to create the ID
<a href=“https://directory.umd.edu/id?new_user[/url]”>https://directory.umd.edu/id?new_user</a>
Hope this helps! Also, that’s what I’m wondering. If I can’t confirm enrollment just yet can I at least submit the form to let them know I would at least like housing if everything works out (God willing)?</p>
<p>@forzanatalia i think she said that because we were suppose receive our decisions in mid-April. so the end of April would be a week or so after our decisions. im just going to assume they will send it out next week or so.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me until when we have to send our final transcripts if we accepted the admission?</p>
<p>@TrsferStud Thanks for the info! I’ll relay that to my parents.</p>
<p>so end of april is the time we have to let them know our intention of enrollment… just to clarify</p>
<p>@FrozaNatalia no prob!
@Yoshi45 basically, we let them know if we are going to enroll the beginning of May.</p>
