  • Admission considers the curriculum and grades; no single guaranteed-entry GPA is published.
  • Applicants living and educated outside the US are directed to the INTO UAB application route.
  • The CS major's 2.2 GPA and C-grade rules concern degree progression, not a universal freshman admission threshold.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • IELTS 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5, or an approved alternative.
  • Test results must be within two years of the application date unless an accepted exemption applies.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Fall and spring undergraduate entry; the university also lists summer admission, with programme availability to confirm.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • International admission priorities are 1 June for fall, 1 November for spring and 15 May for summer; later applications depend on places.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For 2026/27, international undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences tuition is US$1,083 per credit per semester, not the lower domestic nonresident or online rate.
