Apply Early for Fall Planning
The Fall 2026 priority application period is now open. Students who apply early have more time to prepare records, complete placement guidance, compare programs, and meet with an advisor before high-demand courses fill.
The priority period is recommended for first-time college students, transfer students, returning adults, international applicants, and students interested in programs with sequenced courses.
Early application gives students time to make a thoughtful academic and financial plan instead of trying to solve every question during the final registration week.

Steps After Application
After submitting the application, students receive instructions for transcripts or academic records, placement, orientation, tuition planning, and advising. Additional documents may be requested according to student type.
Submitting an application does not register a student for classes. Registration occurs after required steps are completed and the student confirms an appropriate schedule.
Important Planning Dates
Priority application begins July 15, advising appointments begin August 3, orientation sessions are planned for August 17-21, and fall classes begin August 24.
Students who apply after the priority period may still be considered, but course choice, processing time, and appointment availability may be limited.
