After Acceptance

Congratulations! You’re in.

Follow these steps and you'll be all set for the start of classes. For students intending to start in the fall of 2025, check your application status page for updates and next steps!

By submitting this form, you are letting us know that you are ready to commit to NKU and officially become a Norse!

• Go to your application status page and find Hands up! Norse up! Let's Confirm under forms. Let us know that you plan on attending NKU by clicking "yes" and submitting!

First, go to password.nku.edu and enter your

• NKU username (can be found on your acceptance letter, or call the Office of Admissions for assistance, 859-572-5220)
  
• The last four digits of your social security number

This will allow you to create a password that you'll use to log into your NKU email at nku.edu/webmail and myNKU accounts at myNKU at mynku.nku.edu.  

The myNKU portal is used for everything here at NKU. View your financial aid, add/drop courses after you've met with your advisor, pay your tuition, and much more.

Your first step in confirming your enrollment is to pay the confirmation fee.  

• Online: pay by credit card or e-check through your myNKU account. You'll need to set up your myNKU account if you haven't already. (see above step). When you log into your myNKU account, you will want to navigate to the "Student Billing" tab at the top. In this tab, you will see a black box labeled “Orientation & Confirmation Fees.” Clicking on that box will allow you to select and pay the undergraduate confirmation fee (don't worry about the orientation fee for now!)

Beginning in early February, 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.
• VictorFest: An exciting introduction to campus life at NKU. Occurs just before classes start in August.

Students are required to attend both Orientation & VictorFest in preparation for their first NKU classes.
