I have completed the Online Application, but I keep getting an error message when I try to pay with a credit card. What am I doing wrong?
Verify that all of the fields correspond with the credit card:
- Enter the credit card number without any spaces.
- Enter the expiration date in this format: MMYY. An example would be 1205 (December of 2005)
- Enter the three-digit card code from the back of the credit card.
- Enter the name on the credit card exactly as it appears on the card.
- Enter the address and phone number of the card holder, as it appears on the credit card bill or statement.
If all of this information is accurate, but you are still receiving an error, the credit card may be invalid.
I have already applied online. What is the next step in the admissions process?
Once you have applied online, you will receive an email notification that your online application and payment has been received.
When your application, application fee and required transcripts have been received, the Normandale Office of Admissions will send, within five business days, a letter verifying that your application is complete and indicating which Course Readiness Assessments must be taken. At that time, you should arrange to take any required Course Readiness Assessment sections in reading, writing and mathematics by making reservations as directed in your acceptance letter.
When course readiness has been determined, applicants will be notified of upcoming advising and course registration dates. Applicants should immediately reserve space at the earliest available advising and course registration date by making reservations as directed in their acceptance letter or at their Course Readiness Assessment session.
