Dates and Deadlines

Interview/Tour

We schedule interviews and tours Monday through Friday. Expect to spend at least four hours with us—from 10 AM to 2 PM. We limit the number of interviews scheduled on any particular day in order to ensure that you have our undivided attention. We do not schedule interviews during our academic break weeks, which are the last week in June and the last week in December. Please contact an admissions counselor to schedule your interview by calling 845-887-5213, ext. 499.

Enrollment

We have rolling admissions and can enroll students at any time throughout the year except during our academic break weeks—the last week in June and the last week in December.

Enrollments occur Monday through Friday during specific times in the morning and afternoon. Exceptions may be made for students in crisis or those facing firm discharge dates from their current placement. We’d be glad to talk to you about these special circumstances and will help in any way we can.
