Undergraduate Admitted Student Checklist
Preparing for Naropa/Post-Acceptance Steps
Confirm Your Spot
To accept your offer of admission and reserve your spot in the program, please submit a $250 confirmation deposit within 15 days of your acceptance date. This deposit is applied toward your first semester’s tuition bill. It is not refundable and cannot be applied to a different semester if you defer your acceptance.
To pay your deposit, log into your Naropa Application Account here. Navigate to your application then to Decision History and click “Respond Now.”
Submit Official Transcripts
Naropa requires that students submit official transcripts from high school (or equivalent), and from all college-level institutions where the student has enrolled. Even if coursework was not completed, submitting the transcripts is required. Students should also submit Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) test scores to receive credit.
Naropa students have until the end of their first semester to submit all college-level transcripts unless the transcripts are fulfilling minimum education requirements. Please ask your admissions counselor about what’s required before the start of your first semester. However, transfer credit cannot be awarded until official transcripts are received.
To be considered official, transcripts can be:
- Emailed directly from the school to admissions@naropa.edu using a secure email service. If a transcript is emailed not using a secure service, or not directly to Naropa, it cannot be considered official.
- Delivered in person or by mail in its original, unopened envelope.
- Mailed directly from the school to: Naropa University Office of Admissions, 2130 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO 80302.
If you have questions about submitting transcripts, please contact your admissions counselor.
Access Your Student Accounts
All Naropa students are provided with a student email account, a student ID, and access to Naropa’s student portal, MyNaropa. In addition, Naropa students are provided with access to Microsoft Office 365 and its suite of applications. For assistance with student accounts, please contact Naropa’s IT Department via helpdesk.
MyNaropa
MyNaropa is Naropa’s student portal, providing important resources for financial aid, course registration, academic advising, and much more. Login credentials are emailed to students after acceptance.
Student Email
Accepted students will receive an email containing login information for their student email account. Login credentials are usually emailed within a couple days of acceptance and are sent to the student’s personal email account.
Naropa email accounts are considered the official communication channel between students and the university. Be sure to activate your student email account and check it regularly for important updates.
Access your student email either through the link at the top of MyNaropa or by going to Microsoft Outlook.
Microsoft Office 365
In addition to email, Naropa students are provided access to the online version of Microsoft Office, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and other popular Microsoft products. (Login credentials for Office 365 and student email accounts are the same.)
Access your Office 365 account at Office 365.
Student ID
All Naropa students are issued a unique student identification number by email within a few days of being accepted. If at any time you need to look up your student ID, you may view it in Student Self-Service under your User Profile.
Apply for Financial Aid
Naropa students have access to a variety of state, federal, and institutional forms of financial aid. The first step in the financial aid process is to submit a FAFSA or an International Student Aid Application. After an aid application has been submitted, you can check on its status and review your financial aid award on MyNaropa.
For help with the financial aid process, or general questions about affording Naropa, please email Student Financial Services, Schedule a Meeting with a Counselor or call 303-546-3509. For help with tuition and payment, please email Student Accounts or call 303-546-3554.

Apply for financial aid by completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Naropa University’s school code is 014652. The priority filing deadline is March 1 for students starting in the fall and October 1 for students starting in the spring, but you may submit a FAFSA after that date. Depending on the time of year, students typically begin to receive their aid award notifications within a couple weeks of acceptance. Learn more.
Note: Once submitted, your FAFSA may be selected for verification. If so, you will be contacted with instructions on how to complete the verification process. Students must complete the verification process before they can receive a financial aid award.

Apply for financial aid by completing the Financial Aid Application for International Students. The priority filing deadline is March 1 for students starting in the fall, and November 1 for students starting in the spring, but you may submit an application after that date.

Students may be exempted for valid medical reasons, or if living with parents/guardians within a 40 mile radius of Boulder. Learn more about housing exemptions.
Students not required to live in campus housing may apply to live on campus, however space is limited so please apply as soon as possible.
On-Campus Housing
At Naropa’s residence halls, each unit comes with access to a full kitchen, wireless internet, and furnished living areas and bedrooms. Units also have access to free laundry, a community meeting space, and a meditation room. Both of Naropa’s residence halls are located within walking distance of the Arapahoe Campus, and are accessible to downtown Boulder, RTD bus routes, and a wide variety of shopping.
On-campus housing requires a $300 housing deposit. Pay your deposit. You will need to login with your Naropa student email credentials. Select Payment & Refund Center and then the Deposits tab to pay your housing deposit. (The housing deposit is not the same as the $250 confirmation deposit for the undergraduate program.)

sent shortly after the priority deadline with more details to prepare you in planning for move-in day.

Each LLC is centered on a common theme or academic component. They emphasize community building and engagement, fostering connections among students, faculty, and support staff by creating an intentional learning community.
Students choose their preferred LLC when submitting their housing application.

Course Registration
Accepted students who have submitted their Confirmation Deposit will meet with their assigned Academic Advisor—either over the phone or in person—to discuss their degree plan and register for their first semester classes.
To be eligible to register, accepted students must first submit a $250 Confirmation Deposit. (Please note that while students will be able to register for classes without first having submitted all official transcripts, official transcripts from all schools attended—including high school—must be provided. If all official transcripts are not submitted by the start of the semester, financial aid cannot be disbursed and a registration hold for future semesters will be applied to your student account.)
Students who wish to register at the start of the registration window are advised to confirm their spot no later than a full week prior to registration. Students who submit their deposit thereafter will be invited to register on a rolling basis — the earlier you submit your transcripts and confirmation deposit, the earlier you will receive registration access!

Required Steps After Registration (To Do Before the Start of the Semester)
Immunization Requirements
All Colorado college students must meet the following immunization requirement: two doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Before attending class (in-person only), students must submit either their childhood immunization records OR the Certificate of Immunization form. Please note that proof of immunization using the form requires the signature of a health practitioner.
Student Health Insurance
Naropa University requires that all full-time undergraduate students have health insurance coverage. Students will automatically be enrolled in the Naropa Student Health Insurance Plan unless a waiver and proof of comparable coverage is submitted.
The ability to accept/waive the student health insurance plan does not open for the fall semester until June 17. Student health insurance plans will not be in the Gallagher system until students are registered for full-time classes. Only when students are registered for full-time classes will they be able to log into the Gallagher site.
Details of the 2024–2025 Student Health Insurance Plan can be found at the Gallagher Student Naropa portal.
Students are also highly encouraged to confirm their enrollment in the student plan as early as possible so that they may gain access to their coverage when it becomes available.
Students who are sure that they will be using a comparable healthcare coverage not provided by Naropa should waive the university’s plan as soon as possible. (Please note that new students are not usually added to Gallagher’s database until close to the start of each semester.)
Online students are not eligible for student health insurance and do not need to waive or enroll in the policy.
To confirm or waive the Naropa student health plan:
- Go to gallagherstudent.com/naropa.
- Click on ‘Student Waive/Enroll’.
- Log in. Your user name is your Naropa University email address. The first time you login, your temporary password will be your student ID number. You will be required to change your password the first time you log in.
- Complete the decision form:
- If waiving coverage, have your current health insurance ID card ready as you will need this information in order to complete the waiver portion of the decision form. You will be asked to review the information provided and click ‘submit’ to complete the process. Immediately upon submitting your Online Form you will receive a reference number. Please note and keep this information in your files.
- If enrolling, please complete the requested information. Your ID card will be available online 7-10 business days after your eligibility has been confirmed.•
Alternative Insurance Options
Naropa students may be eligible to enroll in Connect for Health Colorado with possible subsidies based on income level. Note that the Colorado health exchange will only cover emergency services out of the state of Colorado.

As non-citizens, all F-1 and J-1 international students and scholars studying in the United States are expected to comply with the health insurance requirement of the Affordable Care Act. In order to comply with this requirement, Naropa requires all international students to have medical insurance.
International students are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan through the University with the option to waive it by providing proof that they are insured in some other way. Learn more about the Student Health Insurance Plan and the waiver process.
Questions may be directed to the Coordinator of International Student & Scholar Services.

If you plan to use VA education benefits while attending Naropa, please contact the School Certifying Official team at vabenefits@naropa.edu as soon as you have been accepted.
VA Education Benefit Checklist
STEP 1 – APPLY FOR BENEFITS or UPDATE PROGRAM/PLACE OF TRAINING
- Online:
- https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/
- Call/By Mail: 888-442-4551, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET, to request that we send the application to you. Fill it out and mail it to the VA regional claims processing office.
- In person: Go to a VA regional office and have a VA employee help you
STEP 2 – SEND REQUIRED PAPERWORK TO NAROPA
- Proof of Eligibility – After the above application has processed with the VA, you will receive a new Certificate of Eligibility letter. The C.O.E. will detail the percentage of benefits you are eligible to receive through the VA. Once received, please upload a copy to us. However, it may take a while for the VA to issue the Certificate of Eligibility Letter to you so you may send us an eBenefits print out of entitlement information, as a placeholder.
- ALL Previous Education Transcripts – The VA requires all education transcripts to be reviewed, even if VA benefits were not being used at the time and/or you feel that the courses would not be relevant.
- Joint Service Transcripts (JST) – This is only a requirement for Veterans, not for Chapter 35 recipients or individuals using Transfer of Entitlement (ToE).
- Joint Service Transcripts can be requested at https://jst.doded.mil/ for all military branches except Air Force. Air Force personnel should contact CCAF to receive transcripts.
STEP 3 – REGISTRATION
- Meet with your academic advisor – It is essential to meet with your advisor before registration each semester to review degree progress and build your course schedule.
- Register for courses – VA education benefits will only cover courses that are required for degree completion. If you plan to take a course that is not required for your degree, you MUST notify the SCO and you may be responsible for paying for the course out of pocket.
- Notify SCO that enrollment is ready to certify – Your enrollment will not be submitted to the VA until this step has been completed.
- Report any changes to the SCO immediately – If your course schedule or enrollment level changes, you are required to notify the SCO immediately (within 72 hours).
STEP 4 – SUBMITTING ENROLLMENT (Certification)
- Enrollment Reported – The SCO will certify your courses with the VA once all required information is received.
- The SCO will perform a secondary certification once the add/drop period has ended, to request tuition and fees. Please keep in mind that it normally takes anywhere from 4-8 weeks for the VA to fully process and make payment after the enrollment has been sent.
- Any changes to your schedule/enrollment level after the beginning of the term may create a debt to the VA. If a tuition and fee debt is created, Naropa will initially return the fund to the VA, but you will be responsible for any balance this creates on your student account.
Please submit your Proof of Eligibility documents:
- Upload your documents to the MyNaropa document upload portal or FAX to 303-546-3536
