Apply early

Applications are processed in the order we receive them. We must have a complete application before we consider you for acceptance. We do not save a place for you in the program or in workshops until we have received all parts of your application. Please read workshop descriptions carefully for any additional required materials. Classes vary in size, and many workshops fill quickly. Once workshops are filled, we maintain a waiting list from which accepted students are enrolled. We reserve the right to cancel a workshop or offer new workshop choices because of changes in enrollment.
