Application Fee.
A
non-refundable application fee is required of all who seek degree admission to
the University. The application fee in 2007-08 was $40 (U.S. mailing address),
$55 (International mailing address), $75 [dual applicants to Music, Theatre & Dance
(MTD) /LSA; dual applicants to MTD/RC; dual applicants to MTD/ Art & Design
(A&D); dual applicants to
InterArts Performance Program (MTD/A&D)]. This fee is not required of applicants
seeking readmission, of students requesting cross-campus transfers, or of new
transfer applications from UM—Dearborn
or UM—Flint.
Enrollment Deposit.
A newly-admitted student is required to pay a
two hundred dollar non-refundable enrollment deposit in ac-cordance
with instructions provided by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Upon enrollment, this deposit is applied toward the tuition and
fees for the term for which a student is admitted. Failure to
enroll for that term of admission results in forfeiture
of the entire two hundred dollar deposit.
Questions and correspondence concerning
the enrollment deposit should be directed to the address listed
above.
Non-Degree Status Non-degree status offers the opportunity to elect courses in the College to meet personal objectives without enrollment in a degree program. Consideration for admission as a non-degree student is determined by (1) certified good academic standing at another college or university and eligibility to return or (2) successful completion of a college degree. Interested students should submit the Non-Degree LSA Application which is available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Applicants may also be asked to submit an official transcript of their college work. High school graduates not entering UM in the fall as freshmen may be considered for non-degree admission for summer term only.
Freshmen Prospective first-year students may apply online or request a paper application. Applications are invited from high school students who have begun their senior year as well as from high school graduates. Early application submission allows admissions officials to inform students of the probability of admission and to call attention to any unmet requirements. Students must apply and have all required credentials on file by February 1 to receive consideration for a Fall Term. Students who desire admission for other terms should obtain information about application deadlines from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Preferred Admissions LSA and several professional schools and colleges of the University of Michigan have developed a program for a limited number of highly qualified entering first-year students that guarantees admission to specific professional programs.
International Students Prospective applicants with international academic experience are urged to read the specific information for international students on the web at www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/International/index.html or request the brochure entitled "International Admissions Information" from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. This information lists minimum academic requirements in terms of international educational systems and describes procedures for documentation of English language proficiency. Applicants requesting the Student F-1 Visa or the Exchange Visitor J-1 Visa are instructed in procedures for documenting financial resources.
Transfer Students Students with competitive records of scholarship in other colleges and universities or from the UM—Dearborn or UM—Flint campuses who wish to continue their academic work in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts should read the specific transfer information on the web at www.admissions.umich.edu/prospective/transfers/. An official transcript from each institution attended, as well as a final transcript from the high school from which the student was graduated, must be submitted as part of the application process. GED scores are acceptable.
Cross-campus Transfer Students Applications from students enrolled in another school or college of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) are considered cross-campus transfer applications. Students enrolled in another UM-Ann Arbor school or college who are interested in transferring to LSA should attend a "Transferring to LSA Information Session." Contact the Newnan LSA Advising Center, 1255 Angell Hall, 734 764-0332, for times and locations. Students may not make a cross-campus transfer to LS&A until they have completed two full terms in their original school or college. The application may be submitted during the second term of enrollment. Cross-campus transfer students may receive credit for a maximum of 90 credits from the previous college or school. LS&A residency requires that a student earn 30 credits in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
Readmission to the College The College allows readmission of a student previously enrolled if the student left in good academic standing. Students suspended from the College for reasons of unsatisfactory academic performance must obtain permission to register from the Academic Standards Board.
Dual Registration Students who wish to enroll simultaneously in LS&A and another division, school, college, or university, must request permission from the Academic Standards Board in advance of registration.
Second Bachelor's Degree Individuals with a bachelor's degree who want to earn a second
degree must obtain permission from the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions.
Second Concentration After Graduation An LSA
graduate wishing to add a second concentration may do so at any
time by registering as a non-degree candidate. The second
concentration is added to the student's existing transcript.
