ADMISSIONS

We understand how stressful may be to some students to make the decision to start school, at IBA we try to make it as simple as possible. Enrollment appointments may take 20 to 30 minutes. We will discuss the payment options, schedule, school regulations, and answer any questions you might have.

If you choose us as your school, then you will fill out the enrollment paperwork!

 

START DATES

IBA used to accept new students every week on Mondays, but after COVID, few things got adjusted, so now we start our new students about every 6 to 8 weeks, all depends if we have seats available. No worries, as soon as you enroll, you can start working on your textbooks, so you can be ready for start date. 

We will explain more in detail on the admissions appointment. 

 

TRANSFERING FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL

No problem, we accept transfer hours from almost any school in the state or out of state. If you want to transfer to our school, it's a state law to have an official transcript from the school you attended, and the transcript must reflect active hours. If the last day attended was more than 24 months, the hours are expired, and they will no longer be transferable.
