Student Onboarding and Success. (formerly Admissions)
Competitive Admissions Programs
Several academic programs at 澳门黄金城赌城 are limited enrollment programs, meaning that these programs can only accept a certain number of students per year making the academic program competitive to pursue. This requires the Office of Student Onboarding and Success to determine the most qualified candidates for these limited enrollment programs through a selective admissions process.
A student is able to apply for the academic program once the Minimum Admissions Criteria (MAC) have been met. Students can obtain an admissions application from their assigned Education Navigator and submit the application by the deadline. The admissions application will allow a student to select a second choice and third choice program in the event the student doesn't get accepted to their first choice program. In this scenario, the student would be considered for the second or third choice program once all candidates that indicated that program as a first choice have been considered.
The decision on entry is made by a committee which selects the students based off of the admissions criteria and points through the approved candidate rating sheets. Notification of acceptance or denial will be sent to all candidates on a specified Notification Date. See application deadlines and notification dates below.

Additional points are awarded towards an applicant's point total based on cumulative GPA from the past five years.
