How to Apply:- Candidates can apply for undergraduate/ graduate/ postgraduate courses and can choose the campus of their choice. While applying, candidates need to make sure that the enrolment department of the university must receive the application with official ACT/SAT/GRE scores. While applying choose more than one campus so that the chances of getting admission will be very high. One application is enough per semester and while applying one must follow the academic calendar (Fall/ Winter/ Spring). Applications must be filed within time and one must check whether the applied campus will be open on that time or not. All campuses are available to apply for Fall, where as for other seasons one must check before applying.
