Helpful Tips for Filling Out Your Enrollment Application

• Getting Started
  Before you begin filling out the application, take a moment to review it and note the required information, such as employment history, education, and answers to personal statement questions. Any fields marked with a red star are mandatory for submission. We recommend writing longer responses in a separate document and then copying them into the application. Be aware that your browser may time out if the page is open for too long, and you might not receive an error notification if your security settings block alerts or pop-ups.
  
  
• Personal Statement Questions
  The application has three personal statement questions. Your answers help the Admissions Committee understand your reasons for applying, your experience, and your goals. Each response doesn’t need to be long, but at least 4-6 sentences per question is encouraged to provide enough detail.
  
  
• Employment History
  We ask that applicants include their employment history to help us understand the type of experience you bring with you, whether it’s related to construction, trades, or any other field. This information gives us a clearer picture of your background and transferable skills. Please note, we do not contact any previous employers—this section is solely for us to better evaluate your experience and how it may relate to the program.
