Acceptance and Registration for Freshman Year

Initial Letters of Acceptance are mailed home during the
months of December and January. Letters of Acceptance are then mailed out on a continuous “rolling” basis based on the month that a student applies. A $1,000 registration deposit is due 30 days after receipt of Letter of Acceptance. Students who are not fully registered by that time may forfeit their financial aid awards, scholarships, acceptance to Shepherds, Incorporated and placement in the Honors program. Applications for financial aid are available for download. Students who have been accepted, who qualify, and have registered may request an application for Shepherds, Incorporated.

Transfer Students

Transfer Applications will be accepted for September during the summer months of June, July, and August. Transfer Applications will be accepted during December and January for the Spring Semester that begins on the last Monday in January. See application packet at top of the page.
