Get Started
As a newly-admitted DePaul student, you will need to complete the final steps to enroll at DePaul. DePaul students use two web portals to conduct business:
Blue Demon Domain and
Campus Connect.
Blue Demon Domain
Blue Demon Domain is your application and next steps portal where you’ll find your personal checklist of everything that needs to be completed. You may have set up an account when you were applying to DePaul to check on the status of your application. If you haven’t logged in yet, go to the site and set up your account. You will find instructions and links to your next steps there.
Campus Connect
When you were admitted to DePaul, you also should have received a two-part email with instructions on setting up your Campus Connect account. You will be required to use these
Campus Connect login credentials to move through some of the above next steps. Once you are enrolled at DePaul, you will use this portal for all your university transactions and administrative tasks.
Please note: Your Campus Connect login credentials can be used for both portals. If you’ve forgotten your Campus Connect password, use the “Recover Password” link on the login page. If you’ve not received your Campus Connect user ID, contact the Information Services Help Desk at (312) 362-8765 and inform them that you are a newly-admitted student.
Reply to the Offer of Admission and Reserve Your Spot
Please indicate your enrollment plans by replying to the offer of admission and submitting the Intent to Enroll form. Submitting this form notifies us that you intend to enroll at DePaul for the quarter stated in your acceptance letter.

A tuition deposit is not required for admitted Transfer/Adult undergraduate students.
