• What are the program admission requirements?
• What courses are in the program?
• Does the course(s) require prerequisites? If so, have I met the prerequisites?
• Do I need to submit transcripts to prove I have the prerequisites? How do I do this? Is there a deadline?
• Will I be required to write an assessment or placement test?
• How long is the course or program?
• How much are the tuition fees? Can I afford it?
• Will I need a student loan?
• Will I be attending full-time or part-time?
