The admissions application process is made of two parts. Part 1 takes place online and takes approximately 30 minutes. Part 2 consists of sending all of the requested documents to our Office of Admissions by mail. Please note that once you begin the online process, you cannot stop and restart the process at a later time. So before you begin-
- Have 30 uninterrupted minutes available
- Have a pen and paper in case you want to write anything down
- Have your personal information at hand-See Application Checklist
- It is recommended that you arrange for your computer to be connected to a printer
(If you don't have a printer, you will be able to save the documents and print them out later)
Be prepared to write a 500 word essay answering one of the followings questions:
1) In what ways can your fellow students help you to achieve your learning goals at the University of the People?
Or
2) How do you think your university studies will affect your career in the future?
We recommend writing it in advance in a "Word" document and then copying and pasting into the text body.
