Applying for Graduate Admission to

The University of Nebraska at Omaha

 

How to Apply:

The Graduate Admissions Application can now be filled out online via our secure web server, with the option of credit card payment for the application fee. Please read all the admissions documents first, then to apply for admission directly.

 

  • Complete the Electronic Application for Graduate Admission in full. Refer to the Graduate Program/Degrees, Non-Degree Program and Application Deadlines section of this application prior to filling out the online application.
    Please note the following:

    A. Unclassified admission is available in many departments/schools for students wishing to take graduate course work, but do not wish to pursue an advanced degree.

    B. Graduate Certificate programs are available to students interested in focusing their studies in a particular field. These certificates are made up of courses that constitute a recognizable accomplishment. These programs are continually being developed.

    C. If you have not been enrolled at UNO in the previous four years or wish to apply to a different graduate program you will need to complete a new Application for Graduate Admission and submit other necessary admission materials.

    D. International students should use the International Student Application Form available from the Office of International Studies.

  • Submit the non-refundable application fee of $45 to the UNO Office of Graduate Studies. Please pay by check or money order (made payable to the University of Nebraska at Omaha) or if paying by credit card, complete the UNO Credit Card Authorization form contained in the application. The application will not be processed without the fee.
  • Request two official transcripts from each college or university attended to be sent to the UNO Office of Graduate Studies.  Hand carried or student submitted credentials are not acceptable.
  • Arrange to have official entrance examination results forwarded to the UNO Office of Graduate Studies. In most cases scores should be received prior to the application deadline. Hand carried or student submitted credentials are not acceptable.
  • Notification of acceptance by a department/school Graduate Program Committee or faculty member is advisory only. Official notification of acceptance will be sent from the Dean for Graduate Studies when admission has been granted.

Verify Admission Status On-Line: Once you have applied, you may check your admission status online to verify your program of study and the status of any remaining final documents. Log on to UNO's E-BRUNO web site at https://ebruno.unomaha.edu/ using your NUID or SSN and PIN (the Personal Identification Number you indicated on your application for admission) and select "Admission Application Tracking".

NU-ID Number (instead of Social Security Number): The social security number is requested on the apllication for the purposes of verifying credentials, and for services related to determining eligibility for and awarding of financial aid or scholarships. FOr security purposes, all students who apply for admission are assigned an UN ID number for accessing various services across campus, logging in to E-BRUNO for students and for their campus ID MAVCARD. The NU ID is a eight-digit number within the University of Nebraska system so that a student will have the same NU ID on the Lincoln, Kearney and Omaha campuses.

When logging in to E-BRUNO for Students, you may initially enter your SSN or your new NU ID. The first five logins using a current ID or SSN will display the new NU ID. This will allow you to become familiar with the NU ID number and serves as a reminder to use it the next time. FOr more information, please visit the NU ID information webpage at http://www.ses.unomaha.edu/registrar/nuid.php.
