First-Year Student Application
Apply to Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK and show us what you’ve got
We’re excited that you’re exploring the next step in your college journey with us. Here at Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK, we value passion, relentless determination, and having the confidence to go where others haven’t. Your application is a chance to show us the real you—and we can’t wait to see what personal and academic talents make you shine.
We consider you to be a first-year student if you are a current high school student, (regardless of total completed college credits while in high school) or if you have graduated from high school but have not enrolled at a college, university or other degree-granting institution after high school.
- If you’ve already finished high school and have previously enrolled at a college or university, please refer to the transfer student application page.
- We also have separate application instructions for international undergraduate students.
- Applicants can transfer up to 64 credits of college-level coursework from high school, including 20 credits from AP or IB programs. Visit transferring credits for more information.

First-year application checklist
We look for go-getters like you
At Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK, we’re seeking bold, passionate, and purpose-driven students who want to make an impact. Our admission requirements ensure that applicants have developed the writing, speaking, reasoning, and study skills to be successful in college. The two most important criteria we evaluate are high school course selection and performance in academic subjects. We also look at class rank, test scores (if submitted), recommendations (if submitted), and other indicators of academic achievement or leadership ability.
Some applicants will be invited to complete an admission interview. While not required, we strongly encourage you to participate if you can. It’s an amazing opportunity for us to get to know you better—and for you to share your passions.
Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK doesn’t discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or veteran status. Diversity strengthens us, bringing new and unique perspectives to our community. We welcome applicants from nontraditional backgrounds, first-generation students, military students, and veterans.
