Student Account Creation and Activation(Redirected from Screenshots of the activation process)

The purpose of this page is to outline the student account creation and activation process that prospective students will go through. Students can start this process after receiving a mailed packet that includes their Gustavus student ID number, or after filling out the Admission Decision Reply electronic form in the applicant portal (apply.gustavus.edu). Once the prospective student fills out the Admission Decision Reply form, they will be provided with their ID number and a link to pay their deposit. A paper packet will also be mailed to them at this time containing their ID number. The link to pay the deposit will direct students to gustavus.edu/welcome.
