After you’ve deposited, you will need to complete some next steps:
Set up your AU email account by following the steps below. Begin step 1 on a computer/tablet, not your mobile device. You will need to use your mobile device to scan a QR code during the set-up process, so it is best to start on a computer/laptop.
1. Log in to your Admission Portal (your login credentials will be the email and password you used when creating your application).
2. Find your default AU email credentials under the “Student Webmail” section. Follow the instructions in this document to set up your email and configure the Microsoft Authenticator application.
Important Note: To avoid having your account locked, you are required to change your password and set up 2-factor authentication with the Microsoft Authenticator application during your initial login. Questions? Call our IT Help Desk at (864) 231-2457.
If you are a resident student, you should complete the housing form. Non-resident students should complete the commuter form. Fill out your application here using your Anderson University login credentials. To complete your form, you will need your student ID, which can be found in your Admission Portal.
For additional assistance, check out our step-by-step instructions on how to complete your application here. You can also check out your residence hall options on our Housing page here.
Questions? Contact Residence Life at (864) 622-6011, or send an email to residencelife@andersonuniversity.edu.
You can access your financial aid awards and any preliminary transcript evaluations in your workday account. In order to view your financial aid awards, please be sure to submit your 2025-2026 FAFSA to Anderson University.

Log in to your Admission Portal to register for summer orientation and to pay your $150 Base Camp registration fee. You can also check out more information about the event here.
Workday is the platform you will use for all academic services (viewing class schedules, paying tuition and fees, etc.). In order to utilize Workday, students must complete several onboarding tasks. Please complete your onboarding prior to attending Base Camp Orientation. If you have yet to set up your Anderson email account, you will need to do so before you can access Workday. Refer to this document for instructions on this before attempting to log in to Workday.
Workday Onboarding Steps:
Step One: Login to the Workday platform here. You will use your Anderson University credentials to login.
Step Two: Check your messages. Your inbox (Labeled: “My Tasks”) is located in the upper right corner.
Step Three: Review and accept the PDF documents that appear in your inbox. Those include (in no particular order):
- Health and Immunization Form
- Anderson University Student Refund Policy
- Anderson University Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
- Veteran Military Status
- SC Residency Form (if applicable)
- Any Outstanding Financial Aid Documents.
Step Four: Refresh your inbox – you will get a brand new set of notifications. These will prompt you to take the following actions:
- Review Directory Information document.
- Review your friends and family settings, these determine who CAN access your Workday account and who CANNOT. You may change these as necessary.
- Review your contact information. Once again, make any changes that are necessary.
Step Five: Refresh your inbox, and you’ll get yet another set of notifications. There are a number of documents you need to review and approve (by digital signature.) These documents are:
- Student Registration Responsibility Agreement
- Review and agree to the Anderson University Academic Integrity Policy.
- Review IRS form 1098-T, which the University is required to file for each student enrolled.
Step Six: Return to the main Workday dashboard by clicking the Anderson University logo in the top left corner.
Step Seven: Under the Academics tab, you may see an Advising Hold associated with your account in Workday under “My Holds.” This hold will not impact your ability to complete the onboarding process and will remain in place until you are on campus this fall. Please disregard this hold as you finalize your onboarding.
Step Eight: You may encounter an Onboarding Hold associated with your account in Workday under “My Holds.” This hold will not be resolved until you finalize the onboarding process, which is outlined in the previously listed steps.
Step Nine: Take some time to review Workday in its entirety so that you are familiar with how it works.
Celebrate your enrollment at Anderson University alongside fellow admitted students as you get a taste of what you have to look forward to in the fall! While on campus you will have an opportunity to hear from your professors, connect with other incoming students, and possibly even find a roommate.
