Welcome Back, Mustang!

Admissions Process

We are excited that you are coming back to finish what you have started and graduate from your program. As a returning student to WNMU, the application process and steps are the same as any other student.

How to Apply

Applying to WNMU is easy and can be done quickly. The following checklist is your path to successfully being admitted to WNMU. After completing the first step, you will receive a notification from the Office of Admissions on your application status. There is a small $10 application fee. If you are returning to finish a undergraduate certificate, associates, or bachelors program, you will fill out the ‘Undergraduate Application’. For those returning to a graduate level certificate or masters degree, you will fill out the ‘Graduate Application’. When asked your student type, choose Returning or Readmit.
