Additional Admission Information

Students can be admitted into UNO in two ways:

1. Freshman - all high school requirements must be met, and ACT scores are required.

2. Transfer - students complete 18 quarter/12 semester hours prior to applying to UNO. Therefore, high school deficiencies do not need to be made up and ACT scores are not required.

Please note that there are separate requirements for International Students. International Students should contact the International Studies department at UNO at 402-554-2293 for admission information and requirements.

Also note that students whose native language is not English will be required to take a TOEFL exam for entrance into UNO. Completing English courses at Metropolitan Community College will not waive this requirement.
