Confirm your enrollment

Yes!  You've decided to attend Houghton.  Now it's time to make it official.

Step 1: Complete the Confirmation of Enrollment/Roommate Selection Form

A Confirmation of Enrollment/Roommate Selection form must be completed to confirm your intent to enroll.  Completion of this form will enable you to select classes and be assigned housing (if you are planning to live on campus).  You can submit the form online or a paper version can be provided upon request.

Step 2: Pay your enrollment deposit

A deposit is required ($300 for new students, $100 for returning students) in order to secure your place for the Fall 2012 semester. The deposit is non-refundable and goes directly towards the cost of attendance.
