Your Next Steps
1. Submit your enrollment deposit
Submit your nonrefundable $400 enrollment deposit. This deposit is credited toward your first-semester tuition and is not a separate fee. Use your application account information to log in and submit your deposit.
2. Apply for financial aid
Apply now for consideration for fall of 2026. Your financial aid package from Hamline University may consist of merit scholarships, talent scholarships, and need-based grants, loans, or work options. If you have any questions, your admission counselor can help guide you through the financial aid process.
4. Complete new student onboarding
Beginning in March 2026, incoming students who have submitted an enrollment deposit will receive information for a Hamline Workday account, which is your student portal. In addition, you will review information about submitting your immunization records in compliance with Minnesota state law.
5. Submit your final high school transcript
Submit your final high school transcript. To remain eligible for enrollment, your final high school transcripts must arrive by January 15, 2026, to start spring 2026, or July 15, 2026, to start fall 2026. Prior to your last day of high school, request an official transcript be sent directly to Hamline University after your graduation date has passed. Final transcripts must be official and include the student’s graduation date.
6. Complete payment information
Billing information, including payment plan options and specific deadlines, will be mailed to all students who have paid their deposits.
7. Health insurance at Hamline
All Hamline University undergraduate students are required to carry some form of sickness and accident insurance coverage, either your own or the Hamline-sponsored student insurance plan.
- Domestic students: If you have your own health insurance coverage, you may waive the Hamline-sponsored student health insurance plan after billing by entering your insurance information through the Workday portal.
- Automatic enrollment: If you do not waive coverage, you will be automatically enrolled in (and billed for) the policy sponsored by Hamline University.
- Future opt-in: If you have waived coverage through the Hamline-sponsored health insurance plan but wish to sign up at a later time, contact Student Accounts at 651-523-3000.
