Best Time to Enroll at Sherman College

Once you’ve decided to apply to chiropractic school, the next question you might ask is, “When is the best time for me to enroll?” While the answer can vary for each person, there are some advantages to enrolling at certain times of the year.

Sherman College of Chiropractic admits students four times a year, once at the beginning of each season: winter, spring, summer, and fall. This provides four separate chances to join our doctor of chiropractic program.

One of the first things to think about is when you want to enroll in a program. Your decision may depend on whether you’re graduating, taking some time off, or making a career change. There’s no right or wrong time to sign up; just remember that the earlier you enroll, the sooner you can begin your career as a Doctor of Chiropractic!

Think about how large or small a class you want to join. While class sizes change each quarter, some tend to have more students, and others usually have fewer. If you prefer a larger class (average of 50), enroll in the fall quarter. Conversely, if you want a smaller class (average of 15), spring might be a better choice. Either way, you’ll have plenty of mentoring and time with your instructors and will learn alongside fellow students committed to changing lives through chiropractic.

One important thing to remember is that your start date isn’t fixed. If you apply for one quarter but then decide you’d like to arrive earlier or need to start later, you can make that change. The good news is that Spartanburg is beautiful in all four seasons!

As a reminder, we encourage all students to apply six months to a year before their planned enrollment date. If you have questions or need more information, please email our admissions team or fill out our request for information form. We look forward to welcoming you to the Sherman College community, regardless of when you decide to arrive!
