New semesters begin every 4 months (January, May, August). Applications must be received one month prior to the anticipated start date. The last day of a semester is also the final day for enrollment. Applications received after the designated enrollment period will be reviewed for subsequent semesters.
The applicant must submit the following to the Dragon Rises Admissions Office:
The first 6 items must be completed and submitted by the applicant. Each individual item may be sent separately or uploaded in the Document Upload portion of the online application. Once Dragon Rises College receives the first item of an application packet, a folder is created (digital or paper), so subsequent items may be added. Be sure to send in your application and fee first.
