Enrollment Checklist: Easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Make your deposit
Your enrollment deposit secures your place in the Class of 2025. You can easily make your deposit online in your applicant portal. Use your portal login information sent to your email at the time of application. Simply submit the electronic admission reply form, and payment instructions will be available on your portal home screen.
Deposit Reductions: Should the enrollment deposit present a financial hardship, contact your regional admission officer. Though the deposit cannot be waived completely, your admission officer can assist on an individual basis by request
2. Join your Classmates
Colgate is a place of lifelong connections, and those connections begin now. Join the Colgate University Class of 2025 Facebook page to meet your classmates. Don’t forget to introduce yourself.
3. Setup your Colgate Account
Within 48 hours of submitting your deposit, you will receive an email from Dean McLoughlin with important instructions for setting up your Colgate account. Your Colgate account will take the place of your applicant portal, functioning as your hub of information as a new Colgate student. Through your account, you can access your student email account, as well as information on pre-orientation, orientation, housing, and registration.
*Housing Preference Survey and first-year course offerings will be available June 2021. You will be notified via your Colgate email account.
