APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL APPLICANTS
General Information
Individuals planning to take courses for credit must be admitted to the university before registering for, or attending, classes. The admission process examines both the academic and personal qualifications of applicants. The university seeks to ensure that students accepted into its programs have the ability to benefit from, and contribute to, the integrated educational experience offered here.
Applications for many programs (rolling admissions) and students are admitted for many programs year-round. Applications for programs with priority deadlines will be accepted on a space available basis - please check with the Admissions Office for details. For programs with rolling admissions, it is recommended that prospective students submit the application and all required documentation at least two months prior to the quarter of anticipated enrollment.
