There is a non-refundable application fee of $40 for all programs. You may pay by Visa or MasterCard via the application center. A convenience fee of $1.10 is added for this service. You may also pay via wire transfer through your bank or debit card. Admitted students who decide to change their term of entry after submitting an application or being admitted will be required to submit a new application for the desired term. You may update the term of your application for the next two terms without another application fee.
Tracking Your Application Status
You can track the status of your application via the application center using the same username and password you used to create the application.
We receive a high volume of applications and materials during the peak admission period (November-May). Please allow approximately 15 business days from the date of receipt of your official academic records to process these documents and match them to your application in our system.
Once you submit your application, you will begin to receive email notifications regarding missing transcripts and other materials required. Make sure to check the email address you provided on the application. Please note that we do not send confirmation emails when materials have been received. Once your application is reviewed, you will receive an admission notification that will provide you with instructions for the next steps.
