Admission Dates
College Living Experience provides a unique open door policy. Students are admitted on an ongoing basis during the year based upon available space in College Living Experience and the availability of an appropriate academic program. Although colleges typically run on a semester basis, a limited number of college and vocational programs begin at various times throughout the year and students may begin CLE at one of those start dates.
Admission Decisions
College Living Experience admissions is on a rolling basis. Once the requirements have been met, CLE will determine admission based on the student’s appropriateness, with a decision mailed within two weeks. Once an incoming class at the requested location is full, admitted students may enroll at an alternate location or be placed on a waiting list.
