Supplemental Items & More Information

Immediately after you apply, you should feel completely energized and optimistic. After all, you’re on your way! But there are still things you’ll need to send us:

Your official test scores. IELTS scores may be sent via mail. All other scores (ACT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, TOEFL) should be reported electronically by the testing agency.*
Your official transcripts. Send us transcripts from each and every institution you have attended. International students may also need to submit certified English translations of your transcripts.
The Application Fee. If you did not pay the application fee when you submitted your application or have been contacted by our staff regarding an unsuccessful payment, you can re-submit the payment information here.

* Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of New Orleans will admit in-state first time freshman, who apply on or after April 1st, 2020, based solely on the Louisiana Core 4 GPA. For the Summer and Fall 2020 terms, applicants with a 2.5+ core GPA who do not meet test score requirements, or do not submit test scores will be admitted based on core GPA alone. For any questions please contact the Privateer Enrollment Center at pec@uno.edu. Students who are admitted in this manner will need to sit for the Accuplacer exam prior to enrollment, and can email testing@uno.edu to register.
