If you have submitted your application, and it has been over seven business days and you have not received an email, please contact Johnnie Whisner at jlw306@lehigh.edu. Please include your full name, address, and email you provided to us on your application.
Transfer Applicants:
After applying to Lehigh, you will receive an acknowledgment letter in the mail within a month. This letter will contain your LIN (Lehigh Identification Number) and PIN to make sure all items are received.
When you first log on to the Web site, you will be prompted to set three security questions and change your PIN. At the end of that process, you will be sent to a log in screen where you will need to use your newly reset PIN.
Please keep your LIN and PIN in a safe place. Your LIN and PIN will not only be used to check your checklist items, but if you enroll at Lehigh, the LIN and PIN will allow you access into Lehigh's Campus Portal.
We recommend that you use either Microsoft Explorer version 6.0 or higher or Netscape Navigator version 7.1 or above.
- If you experience technical difficulties or have questions, please check the FAQ first, then contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@lehigh.edu or (610) 758-3100.

FAQ
Q. It has been a month and I haven’t received my acknowledgment letter.
A. If you applied after August 15, please contact the Office of Admission at admissions@lehigh.edu or 610 758-3100. If you applied prior to Aug 15, you should receive a letter by the beginning of September.
Q. I’ve lost my acknowledgment letter. Can you just give me my LIN and PIN over the phone or send me an email?
A. Due to federal regulations we cannot give you that information via phone or email. Please contact admissions@lehigh.edu to request a new acknowledgement letter with your LIN and PIN included.
Q. I’ve lost my PIN, how do I reset it?
A. If you are a returning user, click on the returning user button, enter your LIN, click on “Forgot PIN”, and answer the three security questions. This will allow you to reset your PIN. If you are a new user, we will need to send you a new acknowledgement letter.
Q. I’ve forgotten my security questions too! Now what?
A. Please contact the office of admissions and request a new letter.
Q. It says my PIN has expired. What do I do?
A. Everyone’s PIN is set to expire upon first log in. Please follow the instructions on the screen and reset your PIN. You will need your new PIN to log onto the checklist.
Q. This is my first time logging in and my PIN doesn't work.
A. PINs are case sensitive, so please make sure you are using the appropriate case. Also, the number one and the letter I or the number zero and the letter O are sometimes confused. The number one has a flag at the top of the number. The letter I is straight up and down. The number zero has a slash through it; the letter O does not.
