Overview
Students who are admitted to the University of Michigan and accept the admissions offer for some programs need to pay a non-refundable Enrollment Deposit (EDR) to secure their place at U-M. Once the EDR is processed, the student is matriculated as a U-M student.
Students accept their admissions offer using Wolverine Access. The student clicks New & Prospective Student Business on the Wolverine Access Gateway, then clicks Application Status on the New & Prospective Student Center page. If an admission decision has been made, the student clicks View Admissions Decision, then follows the instructions to accept the admissions offer and pay the EDR.
There are three ways to pay the EDR:
Online ePayment - Credit Card Information
Credit card payments require a valid VISA, Mastercard, Discover or American Express card. The account does not need to be in your name. If your deposit is being paid by another person, that person must be present to provide the account information.

- Click the Pay Enrollment Deposit button.
- Select Credit Card from the Payment Method drop-down list on the Enter Payment Method page.
- Enter the following information on the Provide Credit Card Information page: Cardholder's Name, Card Type, Credit Card Number, Expiration Date, and Email Address.

Online ePayment - eCheck Information Page
