Applications

In an effort to foster open communication and provide continuous updates regarding submitted applications, the Bureau is now posting to its website the month and year of the applications that are currently under review. Applications for approval are reviewed in the order in which they are deemed complete. Please note the timeframe to review each application is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the size of the institution, number of locations, number and complexity of educational programs, and the overall complexity of the application.
