Application Processing Times

Once you have submitted your application and all required documents, an admissions advisor has to review your documents and process your application which can take 1-8 weeks. You will receive an email and your Launchpad status page will be updated when this is complete. If we require any further information or documents, we will contact you directly. Thank you for your patience while we are working with a high volume of applications. No additional application status details are available via phone/email.
