How the university evaluates applicants?
You must produce your application, application costs, proof of language proficiency, and official records in order to be considered for acceptance. Your records serve as the foundation for your admission assessment. The I-20 and acknowledgement package will not be mailed until all required documents have been filed. Records coming from abroad require a NACES part administration authority assessment. The course investigation assessment is required by the college. Additionally, if any of your documents are not in English, they should be correctly translated as well. The first record and assessed adaptations should be presented jointly.
Tips for applying to the university
Enroll ahead to secure scholarships, first-come, first-served housing, and your desirable "SOAR dates (Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration)."
Obtain the high school's official transcripts and any college credits that you may have. Request that the ACT/SAT testing organizations send your info directly.
One should expect an email recognizing your submitted application and a decision regarding your acceptance between 8–10 business days of the receipt of all required documentation. Selections may take longer if there are several applications submitted at once.
To confirm the offer of admission and submit the $150 enrollment deposit (non-refundable), complete the "Reply to Offer of Admission" form on your application status page.
