General Application Information

Spring Semester – First-Come First-Served

The Spring semester begins on January 25th. During Spring Registration dates (January 18-21), we serve a limited number of students. Applicants receive an entry ticket when they arrive. Each day the doors close at the scheduled closing time, or when the building reaches capacity. Applicants with entry tickets are served on a First Come First Served basis. First Come First Served also means includes having the proper documents in hand.

Fall Semester – Lottery

The Fall semester started on September 7, 2021. The lottery only happens for fall semester classes. For classes where there are more applicants than spaces available, the school conducts a lottery so all new applicants have the same chance to enter into their class.
