 Housing

You will receive an email to your CMU account on July 1 with your specific time slot to select your housing assignment.

To find your chosen roommates, everyone must have started their housing application. The one who creates the Roommate Group is the Group Leader. The Group Leader will select a preferred location and assign themselves and each roommate to a bed space in that unit during their assigned time slot.

Be sure to talk with your roommates about a second and third option if your first housing preference is not available as sign-up is first come, first serve.

If you don't specify your roommate preferences, a roommate will be assigned to you based on your housing preferences.

 Schedule your orientation session 

Be sure to sign up for your orientation. New student orientation is required for all undergraduate, degree-seeking students.

This is where you'll sign up for courses and learn more about life on campus. The sooner you have orientation, the more you can customize your course schedule. Spots are first come, first serve, so it's best to do this as soon as possible. After you register, you will receive instructions on how to prepare for your orientation date.

 Receive financial aid package 

Your personalized financial aid offer will be mailed to home and emailed to your cmich.edu account. This offer will showcase the scholarships you've earned, grants and work-study you've received, along with a summary of the loans we recommend for you.

Want to learn more about how to apply for aid? Don't worry, we've got you covered! You must have a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file to receive your award offer.

 Submit your final official transcript 

An official transcript is a record of your high school and/or college courses and grades, sent directly from your previous school(s) upon your request. We require your FINAL OFFICIAL transcripts before you can enroll in courses.

You can typically make this request through Parchment.com. If your school does not use Parchment, ask your high school counseling office or college registrar's office for their procedure. Schools can submit transcripts directly to CMU by mail or email:

Please note: We do not accept copies or hand-delivered transcripts. Transcripts must be sent electronically or mailed to us directly from your prior school(s).
