Adult Admissions

The 51�Թ�� is committed to making higher education available and affordable to all qualified students. 51�Թ�� actively recruits and supports a large population of nontraditional students. In fact, nearly half of 51�Թ��'s student body is over the age of 25, many with families and established careers. 51�Թ�� 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.

51�Թ�� recognizes that taking either the SAT or ACT at this time may be challenging. 51�Թ�� 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.
