The admissions process is designed in a manner that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or Veterans of the Vietnam Era status. The Department of Lifestyle Health Sciences’ Admissions Committee will review all completed applications that meet specific requirements on a rolling basis until the cohort is filled. Applicants will be given a written notification regarding their admissions status by the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.

Applicants who are admitted to the degree program cohort and plan to enroll are required to submit an Admission Decision Form along with a non-refundable $200 assurance fee which will be used toward tuition upon arrival. Applicants admitted to the degree program cohort that do not intend to enroll in the cohort for which they applied must contact the Office of Admissions and Recruitment to request a deferment. Deferments must be made in writing and cannot exceed one year from the original acceptance date. There is a non-refundable deferment fee of $300 that will be used toward tuition upon arrival; the deferment fee is due at the time the request is made.

Prospective and current students must notify the proper institution officials regarding any changes in the information provided on their application. Falsification or omission of any information on the application documents will void a student’s admission, cancel their enrollment, and/or result in appropriate disciplinary action.
