What Do You Need to Do?
Be sure to keep track of the steps that you should to take to successfully enroll at UML.  The Checklist for Incoming Students included in your acceptance packet outlines these steps.

Two items of considerable importance on the Checklist for Incoming Students are the enrollment deposit of $150.00 and the enrollment response card.  While it may be early for you to consider sending in these items, they will hold your "spot" in the class and within your major.  Should you choose not to attend UML for Fall 2008, your enrollment deposit can be refunded by submitting a request in writing prior to May 1, 2008.

Visit Campus
If you haven’t been to campus, please take advantage of one of these opportunities to visit.
