The Admission Process


The Admission Decision:
The admission process is broken down into four basic parts: Phone Contact, Referral, Interview, and Admission.


Phone Contact:
Preliminary discussion with the Admissions Director regarding programming and student needs.

Interview:
All students will be interviewed on campus by members of the Admissions Committee, which may include: the Program Director, Admissions Coordinators, Clinical staff, Academic Coordinator, Career Coordinator and/or Residential Coordinator.

The interview helps to determine the applicant’s motivation, emotional and behavioral stability, goals for the future and communication skills.

A decision will generally be made within 7-10 days of the interview as to whether or not our programs can meet the needs of the applicant.

If the Admission Committee determines that the referred student is appropriate for admission, a contract, medical forms and a Student Manual will be sent to the applicant.


Admission:
Once a student is accepted, and the required deposit has been received, an admission date can be established.

Admissions are scheduled throughout the year as openings in the program become available.


Information About Regional Centers:
Regional centers are nonprofit private corporations that contract with the Department of Developmental Services to provide or coordinate services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities. They have offices throughout California to provide a local resource to help find and access the many services available to individuals and their families.
