Welcome to the #HighlanderFamily

The deadline to deposit is June 1 for freshman and transfer students.

For students prepared to make a commitment to attend Radford this fall, we encourage you to confirm your enrollment as soon as possible so you have priority access to register for classes, secure housing, start your payment plan and other next steps.

Confirm your enrollment by completing the Enrollment Confirmation Form and paying a $200 deposit in your Highlander Portal (check out this step-by-step video on how to complete your Enrollment Confirmation Form).

After June 1, Radford will allow non-refundable late deposits as space is available with the understanding that course avilability, housing preferences and payment plans will be limited. 

New freshmen and transfer students who are unable to pay the enrollment deposit may request to waive the required enrollment deposit by completing a Waiver Request form. The Office of Admissions will review each waiver request and respond within 3 business days. 

Register for Quest orientation in your Highlander Portal enrollment checklist (check out step-by-step registration instructions). Quest is our orientation program for new students, and you have several dates to select from:

• View Quest dates for main campus freshmen. 
• View Quest dates for main campus transfer students. 
• View Quest dates for all students at our Radford University Carilion site

At Quest, you'll connect with faculty, staff and current Radford students to work on your course schedule, learn more about university resources and more.

OneCampus is the Radford University student portal and many actions are housed here (like registering for classes, applying for housing and paying your University bill).

Activate your OneCampus account (check out detailed instructions here) using your RU ID and claim code, both of which can be found in your Highlander Portal. 

Submit your housing application in OneCampus. This instructional video will walk you through each step of the housing application.

Incoming freshmen on main campus are required to live on-campus unless approved for exemption. Transfer students and RUC students are not required to live on campus but may apply for on-campus housing. 

Prepare for Quest by completing the following:

• New freshman students: complete the Pre-Advising survey in your Highlander Portal 
• Transfer students: set up an advisor appointment in Starfish

Complete the required Student Immunization Form then submit it through our online system, Medicat.

Visit our Immunization page for a full list of required and recommended vaccines, as well as additional information about submitting your Student Immunization Form. 

Submit your Student Immunization Form prior to your Quest date. 

Complete the brief Consent to Enroll form available in the Enrollment Checklist in your Highlander Portal (check out video instructions here). This form includes required Emergency Contact information as well as a Disclosure of Criminal History.

Submit your Consent to Enroll Form prior to your Quest date. 

Confirm that Radford University will receive an official copy of your final high school transcript (new freshmen) and/or college transcript (transfer students and dual enrolled students). Once reviewed, you can check your transfer credit in your Highlander Portal.

Accept your financial aid in OneCampus and begin making plans to pay your student bill. Bills will be sent to fall students in early July. To prepare, learn about payment deadlines, how to set up an authorized payer, and payment plans.

Keep an eye on your Radford email address (accessible in OneCampus) for information about move-in and start of semester activities. Your student bill will also be sent to your Radford email account. 

Join the Office of Admissions for a variety of single-topic virtual information sessions.
