How to Apply

Application Instructions

Student studying with a book and computer

Prospective first-year students must apply to the University prior to accessing the Honors Program application. The Honors Program application is a joint application, wherein students can apply to the University Honors Program and the Nebraska Business Honors Academy and/or the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management. The application is available via MyRED

Applicants may start the application and save it to complete later. It will time out after 60 minutes, so applicants are advised to prepare their materials ahead of time in a word processing program and copy/paste them into the appropriate spaces in the application.  Additionally, please note that the application is plain text, meaning any formatting (bold, italics, bullet points, etc.) will be lost when submitting the application. As such, please format materials accordingly.

For an application to be considered, we must also receive your transcript. Transcripts should be submitted to the Office of Admissions.

We encourage students to apply by the Early Notification Deadline.
