You can submit your application (and check on its progress) using an online program called WebStar.  The first step is to create an account for yourself in WebStar.  The second step is to fill in and complete the on-line application form. The third step is to email Jane Dougan and/or Missy Dore at the email addresses given below to let us know that you have submitted your application, and for what program, so that we can make sure it gets through the system smoothly.

Step One: Create an account for yourself in WebStar

TIPS ON ACCOUNT CREATION:

You will be asked to create a Login ID and a PIN number.  Please keep a record of these for your future use. The Login ID can be alphabetical, numeric or a blend of letters and numbers.  There is no set limitation on the length of your Login ID.  Choose something you will be able to remember, but that couldn’t easily be guessed by others. The PIN has to be six digits (numbers).
