How to Navigate the Application

To complete this application, answer each question on each screen. You can type your answers in the corresponding fields or select your answers from the popup lists (where applicable).

Once you answer all the questions on a screen, click SAVE AND CONTINUE at the bottom. If there are any errors or omissions, you will be prompted to review your answer or provide an answer. After all the answers are provided, your data will be saved, and the next screen will appear.

If you want, you can skip to another screen without your data being saved. Be aware if you skip to another screen listed in the menu, data on your current screen will not be saved and will need to be reentered.

As part of your college admissions application, you are required to verify your identity. You will need access to a computer or mobile device that has a camera in order to provide a real-time photo of yourself (Liveness Check) and a photo ID (Driver's License, Passport, ID Card, etc.).
