Adult Admissions

The �������� is committed to making higher education available and affordable to all qualified students. �������� actively recruits and supports a large population of nontraditional students. In fact, nearly half of ��������'s student body is over the age of 25, many with families and established careers. �������� understands both the special needs and talents of the adult students, and we offer a number of programs to help ensure your success as an adult learner.

�������� recognizes that taking either the SAT or ACT at this time may be challenging. �������� will admit applicants with a 2.5+ core GPA who do not meet test score requirements or do not submit test scores. For any questions please contact the Privateer Enrollment Center at admissions@uno.edu.
