You need to get this application packet as soon after the beginning of the fall semester as you can as there are several items to turn in with your application and these may take time to put together or locate.
Step 3:
If you have any questions while you're putting together your application, contact your campus coordinator who will be very happy to help you.
Step 4:
Turn in your completed application to your campus coordinator--do not send it to the Statewide Program Coordinator. Be sure to meet the deadline of October 4 as late applications will not be accepted. And be sure that your application is complete before turning it in as incomplete applications will also not be accepted.
Step 5:
Arrange with your campus coordinator to take the impromptu essay test. You need to do this before October 4 because your essay has to be turned in with your application packet.
Step 6:
Arrange with your campus coordinator to attend an interview. You need to arrange this at the time you turn in your application. The interview will be held on your campus sometime during the two weeks after you submit your application.
