If there are more applicants than a program can accommodate, then a waiting list is created. A student on the waiting list may move up into a space that is created if an accepted student withdraws from a program. If a student does not move off the waiting list, the $150 application fee will be refunded.
9. Is the $150 application fee refundable?
