The admission process at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the university website or the Common Application. A non-refundable fee is required unless eligible for a waiver.
Prospective students must submit official high school or college transcripts. First-year applicants need ACT/SAT scores, though test-optional policies may apply. Transfer students provide prior college transcripts.
International students submit additional documents like TOEFL/IELTS scores and financial affidavits. After submission, the admissions office reviews materials and notifies applicants of decisions via email or mail within 2-4 weeks.
