How to Apply

When Should You Apply?

Sherman operates on a quarter calendar and enrolls new classes each quarter. The quarters begin in January, April, July, and October. It’s recommended that you apply six months to a year before you plan to enroll. This gives you and your admissions counselor plenty of time to ensure you have the best possible chance of being accepted into the program.

Application Process

The application is entirely online and should take about five to ten minutes to complete. You’ll provide demographic information and a history of your academics. There’s also a section where you can upload and submit your two essays and two letters of recommendation. If you don’t have these documents ready yet, that’s okay! You can leave this section blank and submit them to your admissions counselor later.

 

There is no application fee to apply to Sherman College.

After You Apply

Application Review

Once your application file is complete and all supporting documentation has been received, it will be sent for review and approval. The more quickly you submit your documents, the faster this part of the process will go!

Decision Timeline

You can usually expect to hear back with a decision within 7 to 10 days of your application being submitted for approval. Your admissions counselor will keep in touch with you throughout the entire process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
