Online Application

The Online Application menu provides access to the online application form for the institutions represented in the portal. The online application form typically consists of eight steps:

1. Applicant's primary and personal information. Upon completion of this step, a student record is created in Anthology Student.

2. Additional personal information from the applicant

3. Applicant’s program selection (start dates, terms, billing method)

4. Applicant's academic history

5. Personal statement or list of required documents

6. Review and edit all data entered to this point

7. Online application payment, if required. If a payment is required, the applicant cannot move to the submission step unless the payment is made.

8. Submit the application. The submitted applicant record is stored and follow-up by Admissions staff is required (application or enrollment).

Each step must be completed before you can advance to the next step. A progress indicator displays which step you are in. If you cannot finish the application during the session, save your information and start at the step where you left off when you log on again.
