SOU has “rolling admissions”, meaning you may apply and be admitted anytime throughout the year. We ask for two to four weeks to guarantee a thorough review of the file. Applying before our February 15th priority application date  will allow for priority scholarship consideration and registration.

Steps to Apply

Step 1:  Apply Online!
You can pay the $50 application fee through our online application; or, if you are eligible, you can choose to defer your application fee until classes begin.

Step 2:  Submit Official College Transcript(s)
Please request official transcripts from all previous institutions to be sent to the Office of Admissions.

Step 3:  Submit Optional Documents

Applicants who wish to improve their candidacy are encouraged to submit academic letters of recommendation, counselor recommendations, resumes, or similar supporting documentation.
