Apply to UNC Asheville

When you apply to UNC Asheville, we’re looking to hear your authentic voice. Of course, we’re interested in your academic record. But even more, we want to see the challenges, opportunities and experiences that have made you who you are. Your answers will help us get to know you as we welcome a new class into our campus community. 

Our application process isn’t difficult, but it is thorough. You’ll want to give yourself enough time to do your application justice. The deadlines are real, so take note of the dates that apply to you, especially if you’re interested in a merit-based scholarship. You may download a paper application, but the online application is more convenient and stores your unfinished application until you come back.
