SALT Center Application

Steps to begin the SALT Center Application for students new to the University of Arizona:

1. Navigate to the New Freshman or Transfer Student application on the SALT Center website.

2. Sign in with the Future Wildcat credentials that were created to apply to the University of Arizona.

4. Select ‘SALT Center’ for Application Type.

5. Select ‘Fall 2021’ for the Term.

6. Select the ‘Start New Application’ link.

• Apply to the SALT Center immediately to avoid a waiting list
• Set aside at least 30 minutes to complete the application
• The application may be saved at any step to come back to later
• The most important step is to fill out the application completely and submit it
• Once your application is complete, the SALT Center Admissions Team will review it to determine your eligibility to enroll

After you are notified of being eligible to enroll in the SALT Center, two mandatory steps are required to finalize enrollment:

1. Complete a SALT Center New Student Participation Agreement
2. Attend a SALT Center Enrollment Event

Historically, April 1st has been the date that the SALT Center has reached capacity and initiated a waiting list.  SALT Center candidates are encouraged to submit a complete application and complete our enrollment steps by this date in order to have the highest chance of avoiding the waiting list.

Commit now, and then notify the SALT Center at dhaymore@email.arizona.edu if your plans change.

Please direct any questions about accessing the SALT Center application to Dennis Haymore at dhaymore@email.arizona.edu.

Please include the candidate's first and last name in the email subject line. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. If the email comes from someone other than the candidate, they will always be included when necessary and warranted.

We hope that you find these step by step instructions helpful in uploading your documentation to your application.

1. Please do not submit documentation from prior to high school.

Documentation from prior to high school is not useful for our review process. Students must qualify for our services and we need to ensure that our services match the student’s academic support needs; current/comprehensive documentation best allows us to make this determination.

2. Please do not password protect your documents.

This will cause a significant delay during the application review process.

3. Why am I being asked for documentation?

Documentation is the comprehensive testing that led to a diagnosis of a learning or attention challenge. Providing documentation of your learning or attention challenge is a key step to submitting your application in order to be considered eligible to enroll. 

Do you have a preferred format for my documentation?

Documentation must be uploaded to the application in electronic format.  The file must be a Word or PDF document. 

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. The maximum file size you can upload is approximately 20 MB (megabytes).

I do not have documentation of a learning or attention difference, what must I do to satisfy this requirement?

If you do not have documentation, or have never been formally diagnosed with a learning or attention challenge, you will be prompted to answer a simple essay question:

"Describe your history of academic challenges and the support services you have used to manage these challenges."

How current must the documentation be?

The SALT Center would like to see what you consider the most current and the most comprehensive.  The SALT Center requests that you submit paperwork from your high school career.

Some examples of documentation include:

If you have any questions about uploading your documentation, please contact Dennis Haymore at dhaymore@email.arizona.edu.
