Submit your enrollment deposit

Ready to make it official? Submit your enrollment deposit to gain access to priority orientation and housing registration when they open on November 15.  

Set up your Global ID

Schedule your orientation session

Orientation registration opens on November 15. Once you've submitted your enrollment deposit, log into your applicant portal to choose a date. Earlier dates fill up fast! The sooner you attend, the more flexibility you'll have when building your class schedule.

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.

After you register, you'll receive instructions to help you prepare.

Housing

Later, you will receive an email to your CMU account on with your specific time slot to select your housing assignment.

You can create a Roommate Group as soon as you gain access to the application. If you'd like to add roommates later, feel free to do so before housing selection opens in July. 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 roommates, they will be assigned to you based on your preferences.

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:
