Deadline
All admission materials must be received by June 1 for fall enrollment and December 1 for spring enrollment. A complete I-20 is not issued until all required documents are on file and payment for the first term is received.
Next Step
Once all of the required pieces are received, a student’s file is evaluated by the Admissions Committee. Further instructions for confirmation of enrollment, housing (undergrad), and advising will be sent in the acceptance packet and communicated by the Admissions Recruiter.
Proof of Support
International students must provide an affidavit of support AND prepay all expenses for one semester. $500 of the prepayment is nonrefundable. The affidavit of support is a form provided by Milligan that must be signed by a financial sponsor and be accompanied by current official bank or financial institution records that provide proof of readily available funds, equal to or greater than total costs for one year of enrollment, which will vary by program. The Milligan Admissions Office will provide that information at the point of admission.
