  2. Pay the Application Fee or Submit Your Fee Waiver

     If you did not submit your application fee at the time of submitting your admissions application, you can pay it online. All documents and fees must be provided so we can provide you with an admission decision. Please note application fees are non-refundable. The Office of Admissions provides opportunities for transfer students to receive application fee waivers. Fee waivers are not available for students applying to the Accelerated Online programs.

  3. Submit Official Transcripts

     You need to submit your official transcripts once the institution(s) have made them available. Official transcripts must be submitted from all institutions you have attended. The fastest method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use [email protected]. However, we will accept transcripts by mail or in person.
