Applying as a first-time freshman

Applicants to the University of North Alabama are not required to submit a standardized test score to be considered for admission to the University. We do encourage students to have their ACT/SAT scores sent to the Office of Admissions to be considered for additional scholarships.

To apply for admission, the student must first create a MyUNA Account and complete the undergraduate application. The student must also have a copy of their official high school transcript sent to the Office of Admissions.

Official transcripts can be sent via electronic services (i.e. Parchment or Escrip), emailed to ugalert@babieslovemusic.com or mailed to the following address:
