How to Apply

NOTE: No preference is given to applications filled out online or submitted on paper, both are treated exactly the same for admissions purposes. If you are comfortable filling out the secure online application, then please do so. Otherwise, use the PDF (paper) form.

International students

Please do not fill out the online application, you can download the International Student Application or email admissions@vanguard.edu and request an International Student Application packet.

Re-Admission

Former VU students interrupting their educational program by not registering in any subsequent Spring or Fall semester must submit a simplified “Application for Re-Admission” (with a $15.00 application fee) to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. If the length of absence exceeds two consecutive semesters, the student will be required to meet any new graduation requirements which may be in effect at the time of re-admission. Students who have completed twenty-four (24) units at VU and have formerly declared a major, after being out of attendance for no more than two consecutive semesters, may return finding that the requirements have not changed.

If you are a former VU student and desire to re-apply, do not fill out the undergraduate application for admission. Instead, download the PDF version of the re-admit student application.
