Policy:
PNWU seeks to admit students compatible with the University mission and who have the prerequisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to assure a reasonable probability of success. Each academic program is responsible for setting selection criteria and shall adhere to Federal and State requirements, associated accreditation standards, and be in alignment with the University mission and internal policies. 

Academic programs are responsible for reporting admission selection criteria and decisions to the appropriate University office or committee for student recruitment purposes, application processing, and secure recordkeeping. Academic programs are also responsible for assessing the selection criteria toward meeting the program and University mission.   

Applicants seeking admission to PNWU are required to submit all application materials and fees, complete all prerequisite requirements, and meet all technical standards as required by the University. All admission requirements are available at PNWU.edu. The supplemental application fee and tuition deposit are non-refundable. Applicants receive a conditional offer of admission until all requirements are met. Failure to provide required application materials will result in a denial or rescinded offer of admission.
