Los Angeles Program Application
-
The Application for Summer and Fall 2009, and Spring 2010 will be available beginning WEDNESDAY, October 1, 2008, at 12 am.
- Application Deadlines. Admission is on a rolling basis. Applications will be considered and acted upon in the order in which they are received. Applicants should receive decisions by mail within one month of submission. We strongly recommend that students submit applications at least one year in advance of expected attendance. Please note: Applicants who've successfully submitted their application will immediately receive a copy via e-mail. If you do not receive a copy of your application via return e-mail you should assume it was NOT submitted successfully, and you must submit the application again.
- Qualifications. The Los Angeles Program is open to Juniors, Seniors, and Graduate students in good social standing. The minimum cumulative grade point average requirement is 2.7.
- Program Deposit. Upon approval to attend, a non-refundable and nontransferable program deposit of $300 is required. Spaces are not held for applicants, even approved applicants, without a confirmation deposit.
- Room and Board. On-campus housing is mandatory for undergraduate students, optional for graduate students. There are a fixed number of singles (studio apartments), doubles (one-bedroom apartments) and quads (two-bedroom apartments). There are no co-ed apartments, and all apartments are non-smoking. Housing assignments are made by seniority. There is no food service. A $50 security deposit is required.
- Applicants may apply for one term only. Applying for multiple terms at the same time is not allowed.
- Tip for Successful Completion of Application: Compose the answers to the application questions in a simple word precessing program such as TextEdit on a Mac or WordPad on a PC, and cut and paste them into the online application form. In the unlikely event your application is lost during transmission, you won't have to rewrite your answers.
Attention International Applicants: In order to pursue a course of study at a U.S. institution of higher education, you need to maintain an appropriate immigration status.
