Before You Apply

Prior to applying to the program, students must:

Attend a mandatory information session. If you cannot attend an information session at one of the three campuses, contact Calista Cleary.
Meet with your academic advisor to discuss how participation in the program fits into your overall academic plans.

Apply

by Sunday, November 5, at noon, to be considered for the Tri-Co Philly Program.

Note: The application deadline is prior to all Tri-Co pre-registration periods.

After You Apply

Students will be notified whether they have been accepted or wait-listed for the program. If eligible applicants exceed the number of spaces in the program, decisions will be based on the strength of applications.
If accepted, students must confirm their intention to participate in the program. If any accepted student(s) decline or do not confirm their intention to participate, available spaces will be assigned to the next student(s) on the waitlist.
If students are wait-listed for the program, they must confirm their interest in remaining on the waitlist. Waitlisted students will be notified as soon as a space becomes available.
The Registrar will automatically enroll accepted students in Tri-Co Philly courses following application review, any lotteries, and confirmation of student acceptances. All students must confer with their home registrars to confirm their preregistration.
Students who do not want to enroll in the program—two courses and additional activities—can register for a course.
