Application Process Checklist:

  1. Check out the requirements that apply to your program, so you are aware of any special deadlines, funding opportunities or other information you may need.
  2. Apply online through a secure, web-based application system. You do not need to complete the entire application in one sitting. Once you create a UserID and password, you may begin the application, save it and return to it at a later time.
  3. To ensure that your supporting materials (transcripts, recommendations, etc.) are properly matched with your application, we recommend that you upload documentation directly to the online application.
  4. Check your application status any time, 24/7.
