Students looking to enroll in domestic and international undergraduate and graduate programs, UA Online or UA Early College can all do so at not cost during that week.

"The University aims to empower prospective students during Free App Week by removing the financial barriers that may keep them from applying for admission," they said in the 2025 announcement.
