The University of Akron’s admission process involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the university website or Common App, paying a non-refundable fee. Official high school transcripts or GED scores are required, along with ACT or SAT scores, though test-optional policies may apply.
Transfer students must submit college transcripts. Some programs have additional requirements, such as essays, portfolios, or interviews. International students need proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) and visa documentation. Decisions are typically released within 2-4 weeks. Financial aid and scholarship applications should be submitted separately by priority deadlines.
