Step 4

Encourage Your Student to Apply

If your future Laker is ready, encourage them to start the application process. Ask them to consider applying 30 days before the start of the semester for which they intend to start to ensure we have time to process their application. Applying early also allows plenty of time to schedule an Orientation session where they'll register for classes.
