• Assistance with pre-application articulation is possible only upon presentation of transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable for pre-application assistance).  Pre-application articulation cannot proceed with grade reports or other non-transcript data.
• All cohort starts depend entirely upon demonstrated interest. 
• Typically, promotional meetings (i.e., information sessions) are conducted 5-10 months prior to the beginning of the proposed cohort.  The listing of information sessions currently scheduled may be found in the Distance Calendar.
• Where no "year" is given in the Start field, a new cohort is admitted each year in the semester indicated.
• Where no Location or Start date is provided, future locations/start dates have not been set.  Please check later for updates.
• Applications should be completed and submitted by the deadline for the semester of entry as the decision to begin the proposed cohort will be made based on the number of applications received or in progress at that time.  Applications may be accepted after the deadline but this depends upon academic departmental deadlines and space availability.
• Effective July 1, 2011 federal regulations will require all institutions of higher education (including Appalachian State) that deliver online instruction (whether part of an online or site-based degree program) to have written authorization from the state in which each student resides.  If you reside outside of North Carolina and intend to apply to one of Appalachian’s distance education programs, please notify the program manager (see program information page for contact info).
