1. Application: Complete the application online at www.GoBears.unco.edu and pay the processing fee: $45 for 4-year transfers; $20 for community college transfers.
2. Transcripts: Have an official transcript from all colleges and attended (and high school records if applicable) sent to the Office of Admissions, University of Northern Colorado, Campus Box 10, Greeley, CO 80639.

Additionally, you will need to submit your proof of immunization to the UNC Health Center.
6. Residence Life and Housing: Students who have either earned 20 or more semester hours or who are age 20 or above are not required to live in the residence halls. Check out the website for university housing options. http://housing.unco.edu/

UNC Biology Program
UNC has been honored with an award from the National Science Foundation to support and enhance the success of students who major in the biological sciences. This BIOTA program provides scholarships, specialized courses, research experiences, and customized academic advising.

UNC URSA Account & Bearmail
All accepted UNC students are assigned a student identification number called a Bear ID number as well as a student email address through their URSA account. It is extremely important that students check their email regularly or have it forwarded to an account they use, as many important messages regarding classes, financial aid, and other information is sent through email.
UNC Business Program
University of Northern Colorado was named a recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award - the nation's highest honor for quality and performance excellence.
