Application Priority Due Dates are August 15 for October enrollment, November 15 for January enrollment, February 15 for April enrollment, and May 15 for July enrollment. All applications materials must be postmarked by the priority due date. Applications received after the priority due date are accepted and reviewed on a first-come first-served basis.
