Steps for enrollment:
The process begins with an online consultation. To talk about your goals and our program -we need to make sure it’s a good fit.
2.) We send you a response email:
– a follow-up letter to the consultation, a confirmation, and next steps.
What does the letter tell you and what are the next steps and deadlines?
The response letter is the document that formally informs you of the decision to accept you as a student. Decisions can more than just ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’. There are five (5) possible outcomes of an application for admission:
Wait List
We have too many applicants requesting admission -therefore we need to narrow applications down to a manageable number! Being put on a wait list is generally a positive sign for your chances of admission. We may ask you in writing whether you would accept being put on the wait list. If you decline, your application to the school is at an end, equivalent to a rejection for admission. If you accept to be put on the wait list you should inform the school in writing via email. This is an excellent chance for you to communicate to the school any fresh information about relevant developments and accomplishments which have taken place since you submitted your application, plus it tells us that you are an effective communicator -extremely important for a photographer. Before you reply, decide whether further information will improve your chances of admission. Your reply to the school should be well thought out, because it is a part of your application process.
Conditional Admission
You are accepted into the program, but you cannot enroll if you do not meet some requirements prior to the start of term or by a deadline set by the school. These requirements might be; for example, an additional consultation, a past debt to the school, a delayed enrollment, a prerequisite, etc. It would be explained in the letter. And you will have an opportunity to visit with us about it.
Acceptance
“Congratulations! you have been accepted into our Career Photographer program” The letter of admission is a confirmation and it specifies a deadline for the payment to be made.
Rejection with a path to acceptance
We would like to accept you, but there is something impeding that response. The reasons will be listed in the response letter, as well as the steps necessary for you to take in order to become accepted as well as a deadline date for doing so.
Rejection
It is not enjoyable to receive this letter, but it does not necessarily mean that we don’t think that you are the right fit. This could be as simple as we ‘reached the maximum number of students’, it does not necessarily mean that you did not meet the requirements -but it could, and we would tell you in the response letter the exact reason for rejection. This letter will also state if we would like for you to apply again or not.
