Undergraduate Admissions Process
Step 1: Complete Your Application
Undergraduate applicants must have a high school diploma or GED and be in good standing from any prior higher education institution attended.
- Complete the online application.
- Upload your official government-issued photo ID.
- Pay the $40 application fee.
Submit your transcripts. If an undergraduate applicant has attended a higher education institution for college credit we will need transcripts from those schools. Please note that any copies of your transcripts that you upload will not be considered “official,” but you may be admitted with unofficial copies of your transcripts. The School of Professional Advancement requires official transcripts prior to registering for classes.
Electronic transcripts are preferred. Have official electronic transcripts sent to soparecords@tulane.edu directly by the institution.
Paper copies of official transcripts may be mailed to:
