Applications are accepted on a rolling admission basis as space is available. Students accepted into the Adult and Continuing Education program may enter at the beginning of the term for which they are accepted. Students who do not matriculate in the term for which they were admitted must re-apply after one year.

If you have a particular start date in mind, here are some guidelines:
 

• Submit application materials by April 15 to begin summer semester (May)
• Submit application materials by July 15 to begin fall semester (August)
• Submit application materials by December 1 to begin spring semester (January)

Because of our size and commitment to serving our students, we are willing to be flexible and accept application materials after these deadlines.
