It is understood that timely information regarding an applicant's admission status is very important. The following steps are used in processing the application paperwork once it has been received.

  1. Applicants are encouraged to use our online application found at http://www.adu.edu/enrollment/apply. Applications received are processed and a User ID number is assigned even if an applicant has not yet been accepted to the University. To obtain a User ID and Password, log on to http://my.adu.edu, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click “Students: Look up your User ID and/or Password.”
  2. During the application process, prospective students are encouraged to contact their Enrollment Specialist (407-303-7742) for information regarding processes and questions about becoming an ADU student. Applicants will not be considered for admission until all application materials have been received.
  3. Applicants who are not U.S. citizens must provide proof of legal residency.
  4. Completed files will be taken to the General College Admission Committee. Students will be notified of the Committee's decision in writing. Admission status is available at http://my.fhchs.edu address provided above.
  5. Admission to the University allows a student to take general education courses. To enroll in program-specific courses, a student must be admitted to that program. Once admitted to the University, students should stay in touch with the Enrollment Services Office to ensure their file is complete and ready for consideration by the specific program(s) to which they are applying. Students may apply to professional programs within any one department at any time. The option for a double major is available with either of the on-campus Bachelor's degrees.
  6. Applicants to Nursing and Occupational Therapy Assistant may repeat only two cognate courses one time each to remain eligible to enroll in either program. This includes any courses taken at other institutions.
  7. Those students not accepted to a degree program upon first application must complete a Program Change and Activation Form at the Enrollment Services Office to be considered for the next admission cycle. This same form should be used by students who plan to pursue a different course of study.
