You've been accepted to college or graduate school: congratulations! You've put in the work and you're ready to reap the benefits. Before you begin planning for the classes you'll take, you should accept your offer of admission formally. If you don't accept the offer formally, you may be listed as unresponsive and dropped from the admission rolls. The letter and documents are easy to complete, but they require some due diligence on your part.
Instructions
Forms
1. Read your acceptance letter thoroughly. It will likely contain the information that you need to know to accept the offer formally.
2. Locate all of the forms that you will need to accept your admission offer formally. If the forms are not listed in the admission letter you received, check the university's website. If you can't locate the information online, call the university's registrar to request the information.
3. Fill out all forms completely.
4. Make copies of all forms you fill out before you send them to the university, along with a cover letter.
Letter
5. Address the admission acceptance letter to the appropriate person or department. This will likely be whoever or whatever is listed on the admission letter you received.

7. Accept the admission offer at the beginning of the body of the letter. It can sound like this: "I am pleased to accept the offer of admission to pursue an undergraduate degree at the University of Wyoming."
