NMU Undergraduate Application Information Related to COVID-19:
We continue to process new applications for admission for summer 2020, fall 2020, winter 2021 and future terms submitted through this site. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as our staff members work remotely to assist you.
NMU does not have application, commitment or enrollment deposit deadlines for first-year freshman applicants or transfer applicants. If your SAT or ACT scores are not available due to circumstances related to COVID-19, we will work with you. We will be able to process an admission decision for Fall 2020 prior to receiving test scores if the rest of your application elements are complete. For current high school juniors who will be applying for Fall 2021 admission, we have adopted a test-blind admissions policy.
We will work with each applicant and admitted student individually as your situation warrants. Please contact us for assistance via admissions@nmu.edu and a staff member will respond as soon as possible.

Questions?
Every admissions application will require additional documents in order for an admissions decision to be made (in general, these are items like transcripts, test scores, etc.). These documents can be submitted to NMU any time after your application has been submitted. More instructions can be found at Apply by Student Type or contact us if you have any questions.
