Enrollment Process

The applicant must contact Platt College after receiving notification of acceptance regarding his/her intent to attend the program. Any applicant, who fails to contact Platt College by the deadline, forfeits his/her acceptance to the program and an applicant on the alternate list will be immediately contacted.

It is extremely important that Platt College has accurate mailing, phone contact and email information for this process to be conducted accurately and timely.
