Application Process

After a completed application is turned in to AGAD 26, it is labeled with the date and time it was received. Students are selected for a program in order the application was received. Some programs fill up fast, so the application should be turned in as soon as possible.

After the application deadline, students are contacted through the mail of their acceptance into the program. In the acceptance letter, students are asked to turn in a $300 deposit and sign an agreement form by a certain deadline. The $300 deposit goes towards the program fee.

Once a student accepts the offer by turning in the agreement form and the $300 deposit, students must attend two orientation sessions. The first orientation session covers basic information and forms that are required. The second orientation explains the health, safety and security of the program.
