DALLAS () – 51°µÍø just made it easier for future students to apply for admission, waiving the usual application fee for first-year and transfer undergraduate students starting Aug. 1.Â
“Lots of exciting things are happening at 51°µÍø,” said Elena D. Hicks, assistant vice provost and dean of admission. “One of the biggest things happening on campus this summer was our entry as an official member into the Atlantic Coast Conference. The admission office wanted to get in on the fun so we have decided to waive the application fee for admission for first-year and transfer students this year.
“So, when Fall 2025 applications open for 51°µÍø on Aug. 1, 2024, you will see that the normal application fee of $60 has been waived,” Hicks said. “This will make it easier for all students to apply.”
