Application fee waived for overseas active duty military members

Effective April 23, 2007, the University of Minnesota has implemented a policy to waive (not charge) an application fee to active duty military service members deployed overseas. This change affects undergraduates only at all University campuses.

Frequently, active duty service members deployed overseas have problems sending an application fee due to the difficulty transmitted funds internationally, cash flow issues, and/or unavailable educational benefits. Some service members have tried to address these issues by having loved one or other third parties provide the funds; however, this can delay the admissions process.

Students will need to self identify as active duty veterans to the Admissions Office and provide copies of their deployment papers.

This waiver will streamline the application fee process for these students. This change will also be highlighted on the One Stop Veterans Web page.

Please attend the Registrar's Advisory Committee meeting (August 2007)

All student service and advising staff are invited to the Registrar's Advisory Committee (RAC) meeting 155 Nicholson Hall (East Bank) on Monday, August 6, 2007.

This meeting is an opportunity to hear important updates from staff from the Office of the Registrar, Student Finance, One Stop Student Services, and other Academic Support Resources (ASR) staff. These meetings are critical to informing how ASR can best support the important work of all those who work with students. This is your chance to inform the projects, policies, and processes that support students' educational experiences.

If you have any questions about RAC or would like to be added to the RAC listserv, please contact Ingrid Nuttall at ingridn@umn.edu.
