The admission process at Northern Michigan University (NMU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the NMU website or Common App, accompanied by a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or GED scores are required, along with ACT/SAT scores (optional for some programs). Transfer students must submit college transcripts.
NMU reviews applications holistically, considering academic performance, extracurriculars, and personal statements. Some programs may require additional materials like portfolios or auditions. Once submitted, applicants receive a decision within 2-4 weeks. Admitted students must confirm enrollment by paying a deposit and attending orientation.
