Admissions Process

Admissions Process at AIMS

To begin your journey toward a fulfilling and successful career in healthcare, you must first begin the admissions process. If you haven't already done so, please contact our admissions team to learn how we can help you achieve your career goals.

Meet the Admissions Team

The first step in the admissions process is to attend a virtual info session. This will give you the opportunity to learn more about the college, your program of interest, and the admissions requirements. Based on your background and experience, we will help you decide on the career and program that is the best fit for you.

School Tour

After you've met with the admissions team, you are welcome to schedule a tour of our campus. This will give you the opportunity to see our classrooms and medical labs up close. You may even get the chance to see some of our classes in action.

Student Accounts and Financial Aid

After attending an info session, your program specialist can help you set up a virtual meeting with a financial aid advisor. During the meeting, you'll learn about payment plan options, federal student aid, and other funding options.

Application and Enrollment

Once you have attended an info session, gathered all of the necessary information, submitted your FAFSA (if applicable), and decided on a program, the next step is to submit your application.

Selective Programs

Some programs at AIMS Education have a selective admissions process. Students must apply and be formally accepted into these programs. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Admission is offered to applicants who are considered the most qualified for success in their chosen field of study. Here is a list of programs with a selective admissions process:

Application Steps for Open Enrollment Programs

AIMS Education follows a rolling admissions policy for all open enrollment programs. Students may apply and enroll once an official start date has been published. Applications are not accepted for programs without a scheduled start date. Admission is offered on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants who meet all admission requirements. Enrollment remains open until the program reaches full capacity.

The open enrollment process includes the following steps:

Step 1: Submit Online Application
Begin the process by submitting your online admissions application. A link to the application will be provided after attending a program information session.

Step 2: Schedule Enrollment Appointment
Schedule a virtual appointment to complete required enrollment documents and review next steps. A separate appointment may be required for the enrollment interview.

Step 3: Submit Pre-Enrollment Documents
Log in to your application portal to submit all of the required admission documents. All documents must be submitted on or before the day of the enrollment appointment.

Step 4: Take Entrance Exam
Schedule and complete the online entrance exam before your enrollment appointment.

Step 5: Complete Enrollment
Students will complete an interview, finalize their funding (e.g., payment plan, financial aid, etc.), pay the $200 admin fee via the student portal, complete all required enrollment documents, and sign the enrollment contract. Some students may complete the interview prior to the enrollment appointment.

Step 6: Submit Remaining Documents
All pending documents must be submitted by the first day of class. Admissions documents should be submitted in the student portal, and health documents (physical, TB test, proof of immunization) should be submitted in Magnus Health.
