Applying as a first-year student is simple, with no application fee required. Applicants submit an online application along with high school transcripts (official or unofficial) and a government-issued ID. Self-reported transcripts are accepted for evaluation, though official documents are required before enrollment. Students may also submit a scholarship application, and most incoming students receive tuition assistance.

BAU uses rolling admissions with several intake periods. The Fall deadline is July 1, Spring applications are due by December 1, and the Summer deadline is April 1 each year. Contact BAU Admissions with any application questions or to discuss deadline extensions.

Transferring to BAU is designed to be seamless. Applicants submit an online application along with official transcripts from all previously attended institutions, plus a government-issued ID. Undergraduate students can transfer up to 90 credits, and graduate students up to 9 credits, with a credit evaluation typically completed within 5 business days of document review. Transfer students may also apply for tuition assistance.
