Adult Admissions

The 91ֱ�� is committed to making higher education available and affordable to all qualified students. UNO actively recruits and supports a large population of nontraditional students. In fact, nearly half of UNO's student body is over the age of 25, many with families and established careers. UNO 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.

UNO recognizes that taking either the SAT or ACT at this time may be challenging. UNO 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.
