ADMISSIONS
The admission process requires an exchange of information between the applicant and the school, which maintains a staff of advisors for this purpose. These advisors conduct a personal interview with each prospective applicant before any decision is made to submit an application for admission. During the interview, the advisors will discuss the School's educational programs in relation to the applicant's career preferences, training needs, and individual motivations. To be considered for admission, the applicant must be a graduate of an accredited high school, or possess a General Educational Development certificate or state certificate (GED).
To demonstrate evidence of high school graduation or equivalency, the School must be provided with appropriate documentation. Applicants must present evidence of graduation from a high school that is state approved, or accredited by a regional accrediting association. A foreign applicant high school diploma must be translated to English. This evidence of verification must be performed by an outside agency that is qualified to translate documents into English and confirm the academic equivalence to a U.S. high school diploma.
For non-high school graduates, evidence of the GED equivalency must be submitted. An original diploma, an Original GED certificate, an official high school or GED transcript are examples of evidence of graduation. Students that are still in high school at the time of application must also provide an official high school transcript upon completion of their senior year of high school prior to enrollment.
