It only takes a few minutes – and there's no application fee. Let's go! We are currently accepting applications for spring, summer, and fall 2024.
Be sure to get your application submitted before the deadline for the term you wish to start. And remember – the earlier you apply, the more time you’ll have to sort out financial aid and plan your courses.

You'll apply to Normandale as a "general student." This is the official designation for those who have no previous college experience.
If you plan to complete your Associate's degree, or transfer to another college to get a Bachelor's degree, you're a "general student."
To get started, you create a "StarID.” This will be your username throughout your college career.
Once you're logged in, the application form will guide you through the easy questions and submission process.
