Welcome to the Part-Time MBA Program

Congratulations on your admission to the Carlson Part-Time MBA Program! We look forward to having you join our talented class of distinguished professionals representing a diverse range of backgrounds and industries. This checklist includes some early action steps to take as you look ahead to the start of your program.

Using your log-in information, visit your application portal. Click the link under the Forms section "Respond To Your Admission Offer" to confirm your attendance.
 

When confirming your admission you will be prompted to pay a $200 (non-refundable) tuition deposit. Your $200 tuition deposit will be credited to your student account after you complete the required orientation and submit official transcripts.

You have not confirmed your attendance in the Part-Time MBA program until you have complete the "Respond to Admission Offer" form and the $200 deposit has been applied to your file.

If your plans change and you will not be joining us, please enter your response in the "Respond To Your Admission Offer" form. If you have questions about the process or need additional time to make your decision, contact carlsongradinfo@umn.edu.

 

As a University of Minnesota Twin Cities student, you will use your Internet ID and password for secure logins, accessing University email, registering for classes, viewing financial information and billing, and more. We recommend setting up your account soon after confirming your place in the program.

To initiate your account, you will need your social security number, 7-digit Student ID number, Internet ID, and birth date. Your Student ID number and Internet ID may be found in your Admissions letter. If you did not provide a social security number on your application, or if you do not have one, leave this field blank when setting up your account. To initialize your University of Minnesota Internet ID, go to: https://www.umn.edu/initiate

After submitting the initialization form, a screen displays with your Internet ID and password. Make note of your Internet ID and the password you created. You will be able to use this Internet ID and password to log into your University e-mail. The expectation is that you will monitor this account starting now through the duration of your program.

If you encounter any issues with initialization, please contact UMN Central IT. 

 

The Academic Affairs & Student Engagement team has compiled a checklist of all action steps new students should complete before beginning their studies. We encourage you to complete all relevant steps in line with the dates outlined on the site. 

If you plan to apply for federal financial assistance, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The University of Minnesota's financial aid counselors at One Stop Student Services will not be able to discuss your financial aid options until your FAFSA is received.

Detailed instructions on how to apply for financial aid may be found here. The UMN school code is: 003969.

The My Finances tab in the MyU Portal provides personalized information on your financial aid progress. Contact One Stop Student Services for questions regarding financial aid or visit the Finances & Tuition page.
