NMU is Test-Blind
NMU has permanently adopted a test-blind/test-free admission policy for all future terms. Test scores (ACT/SAT) are not required and will not be considered in admission decisions. Please see NMU's Test Blind Policy FAQ for more information.
Admission requirements differ depending on the status of the applicant (first-year student, transfer, etc.) and the level of academic program. The "apply by student type" page describe the credentials considered, the admission requirements and the application procedures for each applicant status and program level in more detail. First-year/freshman and transfer admission requirements are summarized below. Please see the NMU Bulletin for Admissions Policy information.
Academic departments may have additional requirements for admission to specific programs.
