Before Your Course

Here’s what you can expect from the admission process for your NOLS Expedition.

Find your course online and click on the Apply Now button, or give us a call! We’ll ask you for some quick contact information and a $65.00 application fee. Once you’ve paid your fee, your space on the expedition is reserved, if there’s space available.
Look for an email with a link to your NOLS Dashboard. Click on the link before it expires.
Your NOLS Dashboard will be your hub of information while preparing for your course. You’ll find your course information, required documents, and tuition deadlines here as well as your Admission Officer’s contact information.
Don’t forget to check out the deadlines—we’ll be asking you for your non-refundable tuition deposit and NOLS health form within 21 days of receiving your application. Your Admission Officer wants to help you make this adventure possible, so do contact us with all of your questions.
Send in all of your required documents by the due dates and we’ll do our best to review them as soon as possible. We’ll be in touch with any questions.
Students must adhere to deadlines set out by their Dashboard and/or Admission Officer for submitting enrollment forms and tuition. If a deadline passes, and an extension has not been granted by the Expedition Admissions Office prior to the passing of the deadline, enrollment will be cancelled, and the spot on the expedition will be released to another applicant. Please note that extensions are rarely granted.
