The University of Akron Wayne College Admissions

UA Wayne College operates under a policy of rolling admissions, which means you will receive a letter of admission as soon as your credentials are on file with us. However, no decision can be made final until complete credentials are received, and all admissions requirements are completed. Because of that, there is no established date for notification since it is an ongoing procedure.

If you have questions, or for further information please contact the Student Services Center at 330-684-8900 or by email at wayneadmissions@uakron.edu.

Admissions Procedures

  1. Submit an application by using UA's Online Application.
    You will have the opportunity to select Wayne as your campus of attendance.

  2. All new freshmen must submit a high school transcript or GED score.

  3. The University has made submitting ACT/SAT test scores optional as part of its holistic review for admission. If you choose not to submit test scores, you’ll still be given full consideration for admission and merit scholarships. Browse our SAT/ACT test score FAQs for more info about our test-optional admissions requirements.

  4. All transfer students must request an official transcript from each college attended.

  5. All R.N./L.P.N.s must request a transcript from nursing schools attended.
