Official SAT/ACT scores (if fewer than 12 tranferable credits have been earned)
Official transcripts for all colleges/universities attended
A brief timeline of experiences since high school graduation (include the names and date ranges of all schools attended, work history and military experience, if applicable)

**Copies received directly from the applicant are not considered to be official documents**.

Students applying for transfer may apply one year prior to the intended enrollment semester. However, applications are only reviewed one semester in advance of intended enrollment semester. Any student who has enrolled at a post-secondary institution is considered to be a transfer student. This includes students who hold a degree.

Students are required to provide accurate data when applying for admission. We reserve the right to revoke an offer of admission should it be made known to us that an application includes falsified information.

Application materials and all accompanying documents must be received at least six months prior to the intended enrollment date. Applicants may apply for admission to either the fall semester (begins late-August) or the spring semester (begins mid-January). Late applicants will automatically be deferred to the following semester.
