ADMISSION PROCEDURES FOR ALL ENTERING FRESHMEN
A freshman student must complete the following requirements:
- Application Form - Complete an online
application or a paper application and return with $25 admissions application fee to
the Director of Admissions, University of Nebraska at Kearney, 905 West 25th Street,
Kearney NE 68849.
- Entrance Tests - UNK requires all new students to complete either the ACT or SAT
test and have that score reported to the Director of Admissions, University of Nebraska at
Kearney. First-time entering freshmen are encouraged to take advantage of a simplified
admissions program. High school juniors and seniors can take the ACT test and list UNK
(ACT College Code 2468) as one of their college choices on the ACT profile. The student
applies for admission by returning the admission application, the admissions application
fee, and partial high school transcript of grades.
- Transcripts - Applicants must submit one high school transcript at the time of
application reflecting at least six (6) semesters of high school work. A final transcript
reflecting high school graduation is required.
- Physical Exam/Vaccinations - Required health form (provided in a special mailing)
should be completed and returned to Student Health Services. See Health
Services for more specific instructions.
- Housing Application - A first-time freshman, single, under 19 years of age, and
not living at home must complete a contract and return it with a $35 non-refundable
application fee to the Director of Residential and Greek Life,
University of Nebraska at Kearney. Any special housing arrangements for freshmen must be
cleared through the Director of Residential and Greek Life.
Note: New entering freshmen will attend a one-day Summer Advising
and Enrollment program to be advised and registered for Fall classes. A three-day Fall Orientation program begins the Friday before Fall classes.
Fall Orientation includes Residence Hall check-in, meeting with the Chancellor, visiting
faculty and accomplishing numerous essential tasks designed to assist the students for a
successful UNK experience.
- When to Apply:
- Currently enrolled high school students should apply between the beginning of their
senior year and four weeks prior to the start of the term in which they are seeking
admission.
Individuals who have completed high school should submit their application
at least four weeks prior to the start of the term in which they wish to be admitted.
Students seeking various forms of financial aid should submit
their application for admission as early as possible.
For the convenience of new students attending a Summer Session, UNK has an Open
Admissions policy which does not require students to meet full admission criteria. The
application form and admissions application fee must be submitted prior to registration.
However, PRIOR to their next registration (for a Fall or Spring
Semester), these students MUST apply for official admission to UNK
through the Director of Admissions.
