Application deadlines

Unlike four-year institutions, Sandburg doesn’t have strict application dates and deadlines. Instead, once your application is complete, you can register for the next enrollment period. Sandburg offers selected courses that begin at the midpoint of the semester; so it is possible to enroll nearly all year.  

Limited-enrollment programs

With that said, there are some parameters that apply to our limited-enrollment programs, including dental hygiene, mortuary science, nursing and rad tech. As an active Sandburg student or incoming student who’s completed the application process above, you’ll work with your academic advisor to begin the limited enrollment application found on mySandburg.

Check your application’s status.

Once you’ve submitted your application, you can check the status by selecting the appropriate application from your status page on mySandburg, using the returning-user login.
