WHAT'S NEXT...

Congratulations! You’re in.

Follow these steps and you'll be all set for the start of classes. Additionally, undergraduates can check their application status page anytime for personalized updates and next steps!

Check your application status page

Your status page is your personalized hub for admissions updates and next steps. Visit it here:

Application status page

Set up Your myNKU Account

First, locate your NKU username on your application status page. Three days after you've been admitted, you'll also receive an email containing your NKU username and your next steps in the admissions process.

If you've been admitted and have not yet received an NKU username, ensure that you've completed all the missing fields in your application status page profile. One to two days after you've filled out the missing fields, you'll receive your username.

After you've completed this step:

Go to password.nku.edu enter your NKU username and the last four digits of your social security number.
You'll then be prompted to create an account password.

You'll use this username and password to log in to your NKU email, myNKU portal, and more. Your myNKU portal is used for many things, including financial aid, registering for courses after you've met with your advisor, paying your tuition, and much more.

Apply for Additional Scholarships

Your NKU username and password is required to apply for additional scholarships. Click here to view details and start your application.

The submission deadline is January 16th at 11:59 PM (EST). Once submitted, all application information will be released to the colleges and scholarship committees for review. As recipients are selected, the Office of Student Financial Assistance, along with the colleges/scholarship committees, will be notifying students of any scholarship offers. The application is used exclusively to identify eligible recipients for the awards listed on this page.

Pay your confirmation fee

Click here to log in to your myNKU account and submit your confirmation fee. You can also access the payment portal by navigating to the Student Billing tab at the top and clicking on the Orientation & Confirmation Fees box. Make sure that the undergraduate confirmation fee is selected (don't worry about the orientation fee for now). Payments can be made by credit card or e-check. You'll need to set up your myNKU account if you haven't already (see the step above).

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

Learn more about New Student Orientation

Beginning in mid-March, once a student submits their confirmation fee, they will receive an invite via email to select a summer orientation date. Orientation dates are available on a first-come, first serve basis. The sooner you confirm your enrollment, the greater flexibility you'll have when selecting your orientation date!

Orientation: A half-day program designed to help you learn more about course registration and student success, occurs in May, June, and July.
Extended Orientation: An exciting introduction to campus life at NKU. Occurs just before classes start in August.

Students are required to attend both Orientation & Extended Orientation in preparation for their first NKU classes. Students must also submit an orientation fee, which can be accessed by visiting your myNKU portal and following the confirmation fee steps above.
