Admitted Transfer Student

To activate your account, you will need your username and campus ID, which are found in your admit letter or application acknowledgment email (which is sent within three business days of submitting your application).

After being admitted and activating your account (STEP 1 above), sign in to MyBlugold CampS, select the Admissions tile, and click Pay Enrollment Deposit. From here, you will indicate the term you were admitted to and how you wish to pay your deposit.

IMPORTANT! Submitting your enrollment deposit is important, as it is required to enroll in courses. To request a deferral for economic hardship or inability to pay, log into your MyBlugold Camps account, select the Admissions tile, click the Accept button, and click the Request a Deferral button.

Your $100 enrollment deposit is refundable until the last business day before classes begin. Notice of cancellation must be received by that date. To cancel your admission and receive your refund, log into your MyBlugold CampS account, select the Admissions tile, and click the Decline button. Cancellations will also be accepted via email.

Okta adds another layer of protection to your account and information by requiring an additional verification step to log in. In addition to entering your password, Okta notifies you if someone logs into your account, prompting you to either allow or deny the login.
