If you’ve received your letter of admission from the University of New England — congrats! We are excited for you to join our incoming class and look forward to welcoming you to our Nor’easter community. In the meantime, there are a few steps for you to take as you prepare to enroll next fall. Many of these steps have specific deadlines and are required to complete. But don’t worry — we’re here to help whenever you need it!
1. Submit Your Enrollment Deposit
Once you’re ready to make it official, submit your enrollment deposit to guarantee your spot in the incoming class. Your enrollment deposit includes a $300 tuition deposit and a $200 campus housing deposit. Once UNE has received your enrollment deposit, you are eligible to complete the Housing and Dining contract to select your roommate and residence hall preferences. After June 1, 2024*, all deposits are non-refundable and accepted on a space-available basis.
2. Apply for Financial Aid
To be considered for all types of financial aid, including grants and scholarships, federal loans and work study, file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). The 2024/2025 FAFSA is open, and UNE’s school code is 002050. If you have any questions about financial aid, reach out to our Student Financial Services office at sfs@une.edu or (207) 602-2342.
3. Join the Class of 2028 Facebook Group
This is a private group for you, your future classmates, and a few current UNE students. It’s worth joining to connect with fellow incoming students, find your future roommate(s), and learn more about student life.

Housing assignments are made in priority order based on the date your application is received. FMI: une.edu/newnoreasters
