Whether you're interested in working toward an associate degree, a professional certificate, a bachelor's degree, or even if you just want to take a class or two, you are headed in the right direction!

Step One: Apply for Admission

The first step to becoming a UC Blue Ash College student is filling out an application. But remember, there's more to applying than just filling out a form. Once you complete the application form, your next steps include submitting transcripts, test scores and beginning the finiancial aid process.

Home-Schooled Information

Students who were home-schooled follow the same application process as all other applicants. Home-schooled students who meet their state requirements for high school graduation will be considered for admission based on the same criteria as high school graduates.

To be considered, home-schooled students must submit, with their application materials:

  • a copy of the superintendent release form or district notification authorizing the home-schooling (Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana students only, as required by the law)
  • other documentation may be required upon request

Step Two: Confirm Your Admission

Confirming your admission is an important step toward becoming a UC Blue Ash student. It officially completes the admission process and enables us to finalize your financial aid arrangements. Don't wait to confirm!

If you do not confirm, you will not be able to enroll. Financial aid is not possible if you do not confirm and submit final transcripts.

Step Three: Take Placement Tests

After confirmation, you need to setup your placement testing or submit qualifying exemptions (applicable transfer credit, AP scores, or qualifying ACT/SAT scores.)

Step Four: Register For Orientation

After completing placement tests, you are able to register for orientation. You must register and complete an orientation session in order to register for classes. Orientation is mandatory for new students so don't wait to register!
