Admission Requirements

Students are encouraged to apply for admission, and send in supporting documents as early as possible.  Due to course and/orhousing availability, we cannot guarantee admission or former student reactivation for the term in which a student wishes to enroll.  Once university capacity for a term has been reached, we will no longer be able to accept students or reactivate former returning students for that term.
