University of Michigan - Flint

Welcome to the official online application for graduate admission to University of Michigan-Flint. We are delighted you are giving strong consideration to a UM-Flint graduate program. We hope you find the online application process to be user-friendly and convenient. Please read all the information on this page before beginning the appropriate application.

The online application is to be used by applicants applying to a specific graduate program for the first time. Students who have already been admitted to a UM-Flint graduate program and enrolled for courses in previous semesters but have not attended for more than one year since last enrolled need to apply for readmission using a paper readmission application. Applicants who wish to apply as a graduate Lifelong Learning or guest graduate student cannot use the online application; please click the appropriate link for application information.

Submission of the online application requires payment of an application fee by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover). Specific credit card information will be required after completing the application. To pay the fee using a money order or a check drawn on a U.S. bank (we do not accept foreign checks), you must print and complete a paper application and mail the application and fee payment to the University of Michigan-Flint Office of Graduate Programs.* The application fee is nonrefundable and cannot be credited toward tuition or any other fees.

*This option is not available for Physical Therapy applicants using PTCAS; see the PTCAS application for payment options.
