Once we receive your application and transfer supplement from The Common Application, you will receive a confirmation email that contains a U-M ID and instructions for checking the status of your application and the receipt of transcripts.

Please note: During times of high application volume, it may take up to one week for transcripts to be recorded and for application status to be updated.

Once you receive the email with your U-M ID, you can create a U-M Friend Account to check your application status:
