The Admissions Process

Applications will be reviewed once we receive all official documents needed to complete your file.

1. Complete an Application

• Apply to UNO
• To complete an application, you will need to provide your mailing address, date of birth, and a valid email address.
• Provide your current legal name as it appears on your birth certificate, driver's license, or social security card. Providing your social security number on your application is recommended if you are applying for financial aid.

2. Pay the Application Fee

A $45 application fee is required for all new First-Year, Transfer, and Non-Degree/Visiting student applicants and must be paid when the application is submitted.

• The application fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee admission or enrollment in any specific classes. If you have previously enrolled as an undergraduate student on any University of Nebraska system campus, the application fee is not required.
• Pay online or by mail
• Undergraduate Application Fee waivers are available to applicants who meet specific conditions. For more information, please review our Application Fee Waiver Policy which is available on our Forms, Policies, and Conditions page under the policy section.

3. Submit Official Transcripts and Test Scores

• Request official high school transcript be sent to UNO. Visit your school's website for transcript request information or contact them directly. If you have completed 24 or more transferable semester hours from a regionally accredited collegiate institution following high school graduation, you are considered to have met the high school core requirements that are required for admission.

  Contact UNO Undergraduate Admissions with any questions at unoadmissions@unomaha.edu.

• Request official ACT (school code: 2464) or SAT (school code: 6420) scores be sent to UNO if you have less than 24 credits or are applying to the engineering program.

• Request official college transcripts from each institution at which you earned credit while in high school or prior to attending UNO. All post-secondary transcripts are required whether credit was earned or not. Failure to provide information regarding all post-secondary academic work attempted or completed will be considered fraudulent and may result in possible withdrawal of admission or dismissal from the university.

• NOTE: Hand-carried/student-submitted transcripts will not be accepted. They must be sent directly from each academic institution via their official transcript service to UNO Undergraduate Admissions.

• If your school uses an electronic transcript service, please send electronic transcripts to unoadmissions@unomaha.edu.
