Use the Transfer Application if:

• You have graduated from high school AND
• You currently are taking or have attempted more than 12 semester credits of college or university-level course work since high school graduation (or the equivalent).

Applications After Published Admissions Deadlines

If you apply after the published semester deadline you may still be eligible for admission. Any application received after the published deadline will be placed on a wait-list. The Admissions Committee will prioritize the wait-list based upon candidates that meet UNL's assured admission requirements. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln assured admission requirements are listed on our website here.

Please note there is no guarantee of admission for wait-list applicants.
