Time Required for Processing of Application

Ordinarily, an application can be processed in no less than three weeks, and it is not unusual for an application to require six weeks or longer for processing. It is necessary to secure the high school record, evaluate for transfer students any transcripts of credit earned in other institutions of collegiate level, secure the character recommendations, and coordinate all these records in the Admissions Office before a final letter of acceptance can be sent. Within three weeks following an applicant's acceptance, a nonrefundable reservation fee of $250 must be paid to confirm his reservation. Upon enrollment, the $250 will be applied toward the first month's tuition and fees. No reservation is final until all these records are in order and the reservation fee is received. Consequently, an applicant should allow himself as much time as possible for the processing of his application.

A person admitted to the University in the last few weeks before the opening of a semester frequently can be given only a tentative reservation with the expectation that it will become final if the University receives a cancellation of reservation held by an earlier applicant. The application must be accompanied by the $45 application fee in order to be processed. Reenrollment applications must be accompanied by the $50 reservation fee. All reservations are contingent upon the applicant submitting a medical health form prior to the opening of the semester in which he enrolls.
