Admissions are rolling and subject to class size. We do not require letters of recommendation,
transcripts or essays from students to attend FivePoints. Our application process is
entirely online, and applications will be accepted until the program is sold out or one week
before the desired session start date. As space is limited, it is highly recommended that all
students complete their online application as soon as possible to reserve a seat.
