Next Steps

Step 1: Apply Online

Submit your online application as soon as possible to secure your spot. There’s no fee, and you should receive a response within two to four weeks of receiving your documents.

Step 2: Submit Required Documents

Complete and upload the original or attested copies of the documents listed below using iService. Instructions for logging in to iService are emailed to you within 48 hours of processing your application.

Official Transcripts
A transcript is a record of a student’s history and performance at a particular academic institution. First-year applicants must have their official high school/secondary school transcripts submitted to UM-Flint. If the transcript is not already in English, it must be accompanied by an official translation (students cannot do their own translations).

Some countries issue only one original transcript, exam result, or degree certificate. If this applies to you, request an attested document from the institution. Then, send a photocopy of the document (never the original) to the institution that originally issued it. They will verify the photocopy against their records, place the institutional stamp or seal on the photocopy (thereby attesting to its accuracy), put the attested copy into an institutional envelope, and affix their stamp or seal over the envelope closure. The issuing institution can mail the attested copy directly to the International Admissions or you may deliver the unopened envelope to the office in person.

Please note that all documents submitted to UM-Flint become the property of UM-Flint and cannot be photocopied or returned.

Step 3: Review Your Scholarship Options and Submit Your Affidavit of Financial Support

The First-Year Merit Scholarship Program offers a wide range of Merit Scholarships for incoming students. Your application to the university is your scholarship application. Admitted students are considered for Merit Scholarships based on their ACT/SAT scores and GPA.

We can accept scores as official in these ways: test scores sent electronically from ACT/SAT or included on an official transcript.

Please note ACT/SAT test scores are not required for admission. Students who don’t have a test score may be eligible to receive the Test Optional First-Year Merit scholarship based on their incoming GPA. Submitting ACT/SAT may qualify students for additional scholarship funding. To be considered official, scores must be sent directly from ACT or College Board.

Proof of Financial Support
You’ll be asked to complete an affidavit showing proof of financial support. This document can be accessed through iService, and is required to secure an I-20 required for F-1 status. The affidavit provides satisfactory evidence that you have adequate funds to support your academic pursuits at UM-Flint.

Step 4: Applying for Housing

Admitted students may complete the housing application and sign their housing contract online.
