Once you've made the decision to become a Wolverine, you will need to apply to one specific school or college, or for dual enrollment in two schools or colleges.
The ten units that admit first-year students include:
All applicants follow the same basic steps to apply to U-M (although there are variations for transfer and international students). First, you need to fill out and submit the Common Application. Please note, you will need to complete specific University of Michigan questions in addition to those required by the Common App.
The University of Michigan expects all applicants to be familiar with and abide by the Common App Fraud Policy, which prohibits registered users from using the tool for any fraudulent, unlawful, deceptive, or other harmful or injurious purposes, including but not limited to the transmission of materially inaccurate or untrue information. The Policy also prohibits the use of AI systems to generate content.
*Due to capacity constraints, students who apply for admission into the College of LSA or the College of Engineering and are considering computer science as a major must now request selection into the major on the Common Application. For additional information, visit the Computer Science and Engineering Admissions webpage.
**First-year students can apply directly to the Pharmaceutical Sciences program in the College of Pharmacy.
***Students can apply directly to the Learning, Equity, and Problem Solving for the Public Good (LEAPS) first-year admitting major in the Marsal School. The LEAPS major is the only first-year admitting major within the school, but first-year applicants interested in upper-level programs have the option of applying for Preferred Admission.
****First-year students can choose to apply directly to Ross, or through one of the Preferred Admit units.
*****The School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD) does not participate in Early Action and has a unique Dec. 1 application deadline. All applications to the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning will receive their Taubman College decision as part of the Regular Decision process and are not considered for Early Action. However, any Stamps, LSA, or Engineering dual-degree application submitted with the SMTD or Taubman College application will receive Early Action consideration if completed by the Nov. 1 deadline.
