First-year

First Year students are invited to apply and complete EMU's streamlined application process. Beginning in March 2020, EMU moved to a test-blind admissions process. EMU will continue to thoroughly review a student’s application, transcript(s), and any additional supporting application materials to make an admission decision. If more information is needed, your admissions counselor will reach out to you and let you know about the additional steps. Students may still submit SAT/ACT scores for consideration in the application review process through the test source, Common Application, or a school counseling office.

Transfer

Transfer students are invited to apply and complete EMU's streamlined application process. In order to consider your file for admission, we require:

Complimentary credit evaluations may be requested upon admission.
