DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as an educational organization; it is distinct from accreditation of an individual degree program.
Accreditation is relevant to institutional eligibility for federal student aid, but it does not make every student eligible for aid. It also does not require another college to accept a DeVry course in transfer or establish that a graduate meets every state's professional-licensing rules. Applicants to fields with licensing or specialized accreditation requirements should verify the status of the specific program and campus or delivery format with the relevant accreditor or licensing authority before enrolling.
Degree-seeking undergraduate applicants generally need to submit an application and evidence of high school graduation or an accepted equivalent, such as a GED. Secondary-school records and GPA information are part of the reported admissions requirements, while SAT or ACT scores are considered but not required.
Class rank, recommendations, and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum are not listed as required or recommended admissions items. DeVry does not report an open-admission policy, so applicants should not treat the absence of a test requirement as automatic admission. English-language proficiency and program-specific requirements may also affect an application; an admissions adviser can identify the documents needed for the applicant's credential and intended program.
Applicants should confirm the start date and document deadline associated with their chosen program rather than assuming a conventional fall-only admissions cycle. The Phoenix location reported no first-time, degree-seeking applicants in its recent admissions figures, so those figures cannot support a meaningful current acceptance-rate estimate.
The reported undergraduate application fee for DeVry University-Arizona is $30. That is an application charge, not a tuition payment or an enrollment deposit.
Applicants should check the fee shown in the current application before paying: charges and promotions can differ by applicant category or change over time. Anyone seeking a fee waiver should ask admissions whether they qualify and whether approval must be obtained before submitting the application; a waiver should not be presumed from financial-aid eligibility alone.
Prospective students should not assume that DeVry's Phoenix location operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit. Participation through another college, if permitted, would be a separate cross-enrollment arrangement rather than an on-campus DeVry program.
A student interested in commissioning should speak with the relevant ROTC host institution about cross-enrollment eligibility, class and training schedules, scholarships, and service commitments. They should also confirm with DeVry how ROTC coursework would fit their degree plan before relying on it for academic credit.
DeVry generally considers coursework from other accredited institutions for transfer, but admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular credits are separate decisions. Applicants should submit official transcripts from each college attended and request an evaluation against the specific DeVry program they plan to complete.
Reported transfer-credit options also include eligible AP credit, CLEP subject examinations, DSST examinations, and credit evaluated under American Council on Education recommendations. Credit for some prior learning experiences may be considered. Acceptance depends on factors such as course content, grades, program requirements, and institutional limits; a credit appearing on a previous college's transcript does not necessarily fulfill a DeVry requirement.
Transfer enrollment is reported across fall, winter, spring, and summer terms. Before committing, applicants should obtain a written degree plan showing which credits apply to major requirements, which count only as electives, and how many credits remain to be earned through DeVry.
Students considering international study should not assume that a semester abroad is built into a DeVry University-Arizona degree. The practical question is whether an outside course or program can receive advance approval toward the student's specific credential.
Before paying a third-party provider, students should ask their academic adviser for a written review of course equivalencies, residency requirements, and the effect of time away on their schedule. Financial-aid eligibility for study through another institution also requires separate review; approval of academic credit does not by itself establish that aid will cover the experience.
