Apply for Admission
You must apply to the University of Utah in order to participate in a UOnline program. There is not a separate application for UOnline, so all general admissions questions (transcripts, progress, acceptance to the U) should be directed to the University of Utah Admissions Office. After you have been admitted and completed orientation, you will receive access and information on how to register for classes through UOnline.
Before you apply, visit our State Authorizations page to ensure that we are authorized to offer our services in your state.
Graduate Students
Graduate students have already received an undergraduate degree from the U or another university. Please note that you must be accepted by the University AND the specific program you are pursuing. Program application deadlines vary.
Undergraduate Students
If you are applying to nursing or social work UOnline programs, you must apply to both the University of Utah and to the program.
