Transfer Students
Applicants for transfer into The Institutes are considered on an individual basis. The Institutes, at their discretion, may refuse transfers if admission requirements, including tuition, cannot be met. The Institutes may accept transfer hours at their discretion. Program testing may be necessary. The Institutes may allow students to re-enter a program after they have withdrawn. If a student’s academic progress was unsatisfactory when he/she withdrew from the school and later wishes to re-enter school, the student will return under that same status. If a student withdraws with satisfactory academic progress, he/she may return under that same status without loss of credit, grades, or hours.
Foreign Applicants
If a foreign applicant provides a high school diploma or transcript, the admissions department requires that the applicant have an outside agency that is qualified to translate documents into English, confirm the academic equivalence to a U.S. high school diploma.
