Step 2: Submit Your Application
Once you have created an account, you will have to complete the online application.

International Students will also be required to submit TOEFL scores to demonstrate English language proficiency.
You may want to review the Application Requirements
Note: The registration system's application will time out after 2 hours. Due to this and the inability to save information within the system for later use, it is best to write the essay portion using a word processor before beginning the application process. You will be able to copy and paste your text into the application field.
Step 3: Pay the $25 Application Fee
Once you submit your application, you must pay the $25, non-refundable application fee. Your application for admission will not be examined or processed until the application fee is paid.
Step 4: Select Desired Courses
Once the application fee has been processed, which should happen almost instantaneously, you will be able to register for courses.
Note: Although a balance will appear within your ledger, your credit card will not be charged for tuition until you are officially accepted and enrolled in HSU.
