The Con's of the Online Application

While being able to come back and work on your application later is a very nice thing, a word of caution. If you spend too much time filing out your application [too much time on a single page without a page refresh] your session may time out. If this happens, the last data you entered in will be lost. That said. It is a very very smart idea to copy and paste your application essays into a word or text document as you work on them so you do not need to start over.

We apologize for any frustration this may cause. Our site is still a work in progress.
