This timetable applies to high school students. These are just guidelines that the Admission counselors recommend for a smoother admission process.

Visit us. Attend one of our many open house events. We also recommend arranging a personal visit with an Admission Counselor and taking an official tour with one of our students. We can schedule a time that you can meet with a professor or students in your field. We can also arrange for you to stay overnight in the residence halls with a current student.
