Application Process
Students who decide to move forward must complete the following steps:
Step 1 — Submit Application
Submit the online application along with the $45 application fee.
Applications submitted without the $45 application fee will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.
Step 2 — Acceptance Review
Admissions will review completed applications and notify applicants of their acceptance decision.
Step 3 — Registration
If accepted, students must submit a $180 registration fee within 7 days.
The registration fee covers the administrative cost of onboarding the student, including enrollment processing and preparation for the program.
This fee does not reserve a seat in class.
Step 4 — Seat Reservation
To officially reserve a seat in the upcoming class, students must submit a $1,500 enrollment deposit.
Because class sizes are intentionally limited, seats are secured only after the deposit is received.
