Priority Application Deadlines

To expedite the admissions process, applicants must submit all required admission materials for the specified academic terms by the dates indicated below:

Financial aid benefits will not cover the late registration fee; therefore, students must pay this fee with personal funds. Complete application packets must include the following items:

• Signed admission application with all fields completed.
• $25 nonrefundable application fee.
