Review the Freshman or Transfer admissions requirements, complete the online application and pay the $60 application fee* BEFORE attending your scheduled tour or preview event.

Submit your required and supporting documents to admissions staff on-site before your tour or preview event begins.

Freshmen: Official high school transcripts and official SAT or ACT scores are required.

Transfer: Official college transcripts are required.

At the end of your tour or preview event, admissions staff will provide your admissions status and answer questions about next steps.

† Our campus tour schedule may change due to holidays, on-campus events, or campus closures. Friday tours may not be available on certain dates, such as Preview Day, Preview Weekend, or summer Raider Registration events. However, we will still waive the application fee for students visiting campus on these days.
* Eligible students may defer the $60 application fee.
