        The same site will be used for all required
        predeparture documents and orientation materials.

        All programs have a primary application period
        (September 10 – February 10) with an extended
        period (February 11 – May 10) for those programs
        which do not reach their capacity in the primary
        period.  As many programs will close after the primary
        application period, we recommend all students apply
