Accepted Undergraduate Students

Before you start any of the steps below, lock in your spot and officially say YES to LIM.  

Submitting your deposit ($400) is your official way of saying “I’m coming to LIM!” It guarantees your place in the incoming class and unlocks access to all the next steps, like picking classes, applying for housing, and registering for orientation.  

• Step 1: Submit your enrollment deposit ($400) via your Applicant Status Page.
• Step 2: Complete your Tuition Agreement Form and email it to sfs@limcollege.edu.

Don't leave money on the table! If you haven’t already, apply for financial aid.  

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility. Remember: put LIM’s school code (007466) on your form so we can receive a copy of your FAFSA.

Questions? Visit our financial aid page.  

Shortly after your deposit is made, you will receive an email with instructions for setting up your LIM College email. Complete the set up as soon as possible, as that is what will allow you to access all sorts of helpful resources.

Issues? Contact LIM's IT Help Desk at 646-218-2190 or itsupport@limcollege.edu.

We’ll let you know if you’re approved for housing by May 16!
