In addition to completing entrance requirements, transferring students must submit a certified transcript of hours accumulated at the previous institution. Transfer students are required to purchase a student kit and remit appropriate application and registration fees. Tuition is charged proportionate to the number of clock hours remaining to complete the program. Transfer students must satisfactorily complete all graduation requirements in order to receive a certificate of completion or diploma for any course. Transfer students must complete a minimum of 25% of the required coursework and clocked hours at Acaydia. It is against Acaydia policy to recruit students who are currently attending or admitted to other schools offering similar programs of study. Hours completed at Acaydia may or may not be accepted by other institutions.

Re-Entering Students: A student who has been dismissed may apply to be re-admitted to the institution after waiting a period of 60 days. Upon approval, such students will be enrolled on a temporary status. In addition, students will reenter with the same Satisfactory Academic Progress status at the time of withdrawal. With respect to financial aid, a student must complete a period of 2 months with at least a 75% grade average and maintain attendance at 67% for that period as well as comply with all regulations of the school, before financial aid awards will be made.

While many schools have a ‘hard’ deadline for applications, Acaydia maintains a rolling admissions program, which means that we accept applications until we’ve filled spots in an incoming class. Space is limited. Students who are admitted early may be required to make a deposit prior to the admissions deadline to guarantee enrollment. All admitted students must complete and sign an enrollment agreement prior to attending class.

Acaydia considers many factors when determining acceptance to the school. In addition to academic preparation, factors such as professionalism, prior achievements and dedication are assessed. The school does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sex, race, age, color, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion, financial status, disability or marital status in admitting students.

Prior to beginning class, accepted students are provided with and must submit an enrollment agreement.
