Application Deadlines

IMPORTANT NOTE: All required admission materials (including transcripts) must be received by FNU Admissions on or before the published deadline to be considered for enrollment to the specified term.

Rolling Admissions Process
FNU uses a rolling admissions process versus a standard admissions process. Applicants can learn the status of their application as soon as four to five weeks after complete and valid application materials are received by FNU’s Admission Services. FNU has four application deadlines each year, as noted below.
