The University of Arizona's Office of Admissions assists students in the process of applying to the university and directs prospective students toward key campus resources.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Admission requirements vary for incoming first year students, transfer students, and returning students. Specific guidelines for admission to the University of Arizona are outlined through the Office of Admissions. Students must be aware, however, that many majors at the university have additional admission processes. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to majors of interest. The Colleges of Architecture, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Management, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health require an additional admission process for all of their majors, either at the point of university admission or after completing a set of coursework at the university. The majors of Communication, Computer Science, Journalism, and Physiology also have separate admission processes. Students are highly encouraged to contact a major advisor in their programs of interest in order to learn about these major admission requirements prior to attending the university.

APPLICATIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS

New first-year students and transfer students may apply to the university either online or by downloading a printable copy of the application.Students who are applying for readmission must be sure to use the readmission application, which is only available in the downloadable version. All applicants are automatically considered for admission to the Honors College and for scholarship eligibility during the application review process.

DATES AND DEADLINES

Application deadlines differ according to transfer vs. first-year students standing, degree seeking vs. non-degree seeking status, international vs. domestic status, and academic standing for readmission applications. Students must be sure to adhere to all dates that apply to them. Applicants are highly encouraged not to wait until the last minute to submit their applications.

Prospective students may initiate the financial aid application process at any time by submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must wait until they have been formally admitted to the university before applying for on-campus housing.
