    I applied for a couple of the instructor led courses. When will applicants be notified of their status?  I don't want to miss any upcoming deadlines

    Hi Rosalie, 

    The instructors will contact students by the end of this week (Friday, 3/21) to let you know if you have been accepted into the course. We received a record number of applications for Spring 2025 so it takes some time to review all the applications. Best of luck to you! 

    Kim
