Admission Application Transaction Fees
The Board voted at its May 2–3, 2024 meeting to begin charging a 3% transaction fee on all credit card payments. This change could not take effect until our payment systems were updated to process that fee. That update has now been completed, and transaction fees will be charged on all admission application fees effective January 15, 2026.

Once the character investigation is complete and all documents have been received, your application will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled Board Meeting. While meetings are open to the public, applicants will only be discussed during Executive Session. The soonest you will be notified if your application is approved for admission is by email.
All applicants are subject to a determination of character and fitness. This can take at least 3-4 months, depending on each individual application. There is no way for us to expedite this process as we treat all applications with priority.
