How to Apply for College
Apply early for more financial aid, scholarships, housing and class options.
1. Meet Admissions Requirements
Carefully review the Freshman Admissions Requirements to learn what is required to be admitted to UND.
2. Complete Application
Apply up to one year in advance of when you plan to start at UND.
Applications are being accepted for the summer 2023, fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters.
Create an Admissions Account
Before starting your application, you need to set up a UND Admissions Account.
You'll log in to your Admissions Account to:
- Start, save and submit your online application
- Check your application status
- View your application checklist
- See admission decisions
- Confirm your enrollment
You will receive emails throughout the process on the status of your application. It's your responsibility to ensure all submitted materials were received and attached to the application. Please monitor your Admissions Account and email.
Start Your Online Application
- Applicants are charged a $35 (U.S. funds) non-refundable fee. Application fees are waived for McNair Scholars.
- Your application status will be “incomplete” until all materials (e.g., transcripts) are received and processed.
- We recommend using Google Chrome when completing the application. If you run into issues with items not displaying, clear your cache and cookies.
Review Additional Academic Program Requirements
If your academic program has additional admission requirements, you may be asked to complete a separate application to be accepted into your program. Consult the requirements page(s) in the Program Finder to see if your program has additional requirements beyond the general university admission standards.

Report GPA
Self-report your high school GPA on your application for a quicker admission decision. We will make a preliminary admission offer if you meet our admission guidelines. You’ll be asked to confirm your academic status by providing an official transcript at a later date. Official transcripts are required to receive a scholarship offer.
4. Request ACT/SAT Scores (Optional)
No test scores are required.
However, if you've taken the ACT or SAT, you can submit your official scores to help with placement in English and math courses, and to qualify for select scholarships. Request your official standardized test scores be sent directly to UND.
