Admission Process

Admission interview

Once your application package and all supporting documents have been received, you will be invited to Five Branches University for a personal interview with one of the members of the admissions committee. The admissions interview is a mutually beneficial process, allowing you the ability to acquire additional information, not gained in previous interactions with Five Branches, while the admissions committee has the opportunity to get to know you on a more personal level.

Application review

After your interview, your file will be reviewed by the admissions committee. In evaluating applicants the committee takes into consideration many factors, including academic achievement, professional experience, recommendations, accomplishments, personal character and future potential.

Admissions decision

You will be notified in writing once a decision has been made by the admissions committee, within two weeks after your application review.

Deposit

Upon notification of acceptance you will be asked to reserve your space with an enrollment deposit of $300 (of which $200 is non-refundable). This deposit will apply to your first tuition payment.

Waiting list

If there is not available space in the upcoming DAOM program accepted applicants who have paid a deposit may be placed on a waiting list. We will inform you of your position on the waiting list and you will be notified if space becomes available. If space is not available, those on the waiting list can elect to have their application brought forward to the next program.
