Procedure for Admission

The application process is self-managed by you the applicant. You are responsible for collecting all of the pertinent documents necessary for your application and submitting them as one completed application package.

The self-managed application process assures you that:

• Upon submission, your application file is complete
• You will be considered for admission.

Incomplete applications will not be reviewed or considered for admission. Read carefully the information and instructions regarding each admission item. Please be diligent in getting your application materials to the Coordinator of Admissions as a complete package by the deadlines.

Application Review

Once we are in receipt of a complete application, you will be notified by US Postal mail or the e-mail address provided in your application.

Domestic applicants will receive a notice of the program's decision approximately 4-6 weeks after application review begins.

International applications require additional review procedures and may take approximately 6-8 weeks to receive the program's decision.

Application Status Information

Students who are accepted are required to return the Admissions Enrollment Form by the date indicated on the form along with the required deposit. Students who do not return their form by their given deadline will not be enrolled in the program.

Accepted applicants who wish to defer their enrollment are able to do so for one academic year and should return their Admissions Enrollment Form as soon as possible. Acceptance remains valid for one academic year and the applicant file may be reopened for enrollment provided the request is received in writing. If the accepted applicant does not enroll after having deferred for one academic year, they will be required to re-apply for admission.

Applicants who are not accepted into the program may re-apply the following year. We will retain official transcripts and field evaluations; however, all other pieces of the application will need to be updated and re-submitted.
