Admission Procedure

APPLICATION PROCESS

  1. Attend an Information Session or personal appointment with a program representative.
  2. Complete the Application Form and submit it along with the $35 application fee to the director of the Center you plan to attend. This form is also available online.
  3. Request that official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended be sent directly to the Center at which you are enrolling. In cases where the student has less than 12 transferable credits, a high school transcript must also be requested.
  4. Prospective students for whom English is not their native language must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The exam is now computer based, and a score of 173 is required for admission.

 

 

TYPES OF ADMISSION

  • Full Admission - The student has met all requirements and the student’s file is complete.
  • Tentative Admission - For one term only, the student’s file is incomplete at the time class starts. This may be due to a delay in receipt of transcripts or financial aid. When the file is complete, the student will be given full admission and is eligible to continue with Term Two. If the file is not complete by the end of Term One, or the evaluation shows deficiencies, the student is not eligible for Term Two and will automatically be dropped from the class. Subsequently, when all required documents are on file, the student may apply for re-entry.
  • Conditional Admission - The student does not meet one or more of the regular admission criteria. Conditional admission status may carry with it specific criteria which must be met for continued enrollment.
  • Special Student Status - Non Degree Seeking Students not seeking to receive a degree may enroll in courses at Concordia. One such example would be a student who has a Bachelor’s or higher degree or is currently enrolled in another Bachelor’s Degree program, and wishes to enroll in individual courses. Another type of special student would be one who enrolls in a certificate program.

 

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

  1. Students must make a $75 non-refundable deposit when they are accepted into the program to secure their place in the class. This amount is a down payment on the tuition and not an additional fee. This deposit is required whether or not the student will be receiving financial aid or corporate reimbursement.
  2. Payment for each module is due on or before the first night of class. Payment is due whether or not the student will be receiving financial aid or corporate reimbursement. Occasionally, financial aid will not be available before the first course, nor will most companies pay for courses before they are completed. Consequently, students might plan on covering the first course from personal funds. When that is not possible, special arrangements can be made with the business office.
  3. The books and materials for the first module will be distributed at the orientation session, provided that the  tuition deposit has been made.

 

 

READMISSION POLICY

Students who wish to resume their studies after an absence of a year or more will re-enter the program under the rules and regulations of the current catalog. A new evaluation form will be completed at that time. Any new course requirements in either the major or the core must be met.
