We are excited to announce The University of Alabama's Free App Week, running October 7-11, 2024.
During Free App Week, students will have until 11:59 p.m. CDT on Friday, October 11 to complete their application via the UA Undergraduate app. Applications submitted via the Common App will continue to require a $40 application fee during this week.
If you have any students who are not currently receiving communications from The University of Alabama, please ask them to complete the form on our Free App Week webpage to receive reminders about Free App Week.
This is your students’ opportunity to build on their hard work and begin a legendary future at UA without the pressure of an application fee. Spread the word and the excitement of this opportunity with students! During Free App Week you can use the social media hashtag #UA29.
