There are two steps for applying to UA Early College. These include the UA Early College Application, and sending your High School Transcripts. You must complete both steps before we will consider your application.
An application waiver is only granted under special circumstances or promotions. Requesting an application waiver doesn’t guarantee that the fee will be waived.
First step: Application Waiver Instructions
Please follow these instructions carefully to waive the $40 UA Early College application fee.
Instructions for getting your application fee waived:
- Fill out the UA Early College application.
- On the Additional Information tab, select “Yes” under the Application Fee Waiver section.Then you can select the appropriate fee waiver that applies to you.
- After completing all of the fields on the application, when you reach the Review tab, select Finalize Application and Pay and the application will process without a payment.
- Once your application is submitted, remember to send your high school transcript.
Please note: We are unable to refund application fees once they have been paid.
