- Your official test scores. IELTS scores may be sent via mail. All other scores (ACT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, TOEFL) should be reported electronically by the testing agency.*
- Your official transcripts. Send us transcripts from each and every institution you have attended. International students may also need to submit certified English translations of your transcripts.
- The Application Fee. If you did not pay the application fee when you submitted your application or have been contacted by our staff regarding an unsuccessful payment, you can re-submit the payment information here.
*Students who do not meet test score requirements, or do not submit test scores will be admitted based on core GPA alone. For any questions please contact the Privateer Enrollment Center at admissions@uno.edu. Students who are admitted in this manner will need to take the Accuplacer exam prior to enrollment and can sign up at www.uno.edu/admissions/accuplacer-test for virtual or in-person testing, and email accuplacer@uno.edu with any questions.
Make sure you also:
- Read up on our Residency Requirements. This is where you can find out about our on-campus residency requirements and exemptions. All the necessary paperwork is there.
