Application Process—Undergraduate Program 2010-11

We invite applications to the OAC at any time during the year. New students are enrolled in the summer; semester one begins in the fall. There are two application deadlines for the 2010-11 academic year. The Early Admission deadline is April 16, 2010; chances of being accepted into the program are better for those who apply by this deadline, as class sizes are limited. The Regular Admission deadline is July 30, 2010. Our ability to admit late applicants depends in part on whether there are still spaces available in the classes. (Prior to submitting an application, please print and read the Application Checklist.)
