New Nursing Admissions Process
For first-time freshmen, beginning with the 2027 admissions cycle, UA has implemented a new process for admitting students into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program at entry. Please review information about this new process on the Nursing page regarding updates.
Submitting Your Application
Your first step to enrollment is applying for Undergraduate Admission via the UA Undergraduate App or the Common App (main campus, first-time freshmen only).
The application for admission also includes the scholarship application for automatic merit scholarships and many competitive scholarships. All required supplemental documents must be submitted to complete your applications. Find out more under the Incoming Freshman section on How to Apply page.
