Admissions Procedure


New classes begin each August. Applications received after the beginning of the semester will be considered on an individual basis. The applicant must submit the following to the Dragon Rises Admissions Office:

The first 5 items must be completed and submitted by the applicant.  Each individual item may be sent separately.  Once Dragon Rises receives the first item of an application packet, a folder is created, so subsequent items may be added.  Be sure to send in your application and fee first.

  • A completed application, with a $50 application fee. This fee is refundable for a period not to exceed three business days from the date received by the College, if the applicant submits a request in writing.

  • A word-processed document containing relevant biographical data, basic philosophy of health care, and a statement relating how applicant became interested in the field of acupuncture and natural health care.
     
  • Copies of all professional licenses.
     
  • Two (2) recent passport-size photos.
     
  • Copies of driver's license and social security card.
     

    The remaining items must be sent directly to Dragon Rises by the person/organization you've requested to provide information.  The applicant SHOULD NOT collect the items listed below, but instead should request the person/organization mail the documents directly to the college.

  • Two (2) letters of personal recommendation mailed directly to the College.

  • A letter from a physician or acupuncturist concerning applicant's current state of health.

  • Official transcripts from all academic institutions, sent directly to the College.

  • Foreign transcript documents written in a non-English language must be accompanied by the original and a notarized English translation along with an evaluation by a credential evaluation service.
A representative of the College will schedule personal interviews with the College Admissions Committee members at a mutually convenient time. In the case of extreme distance or handicap a phone interview may be arranged.
