The Summer Admission Institute (SAI) for new college admission counselors will be held at the University of San Diego from July 28 to August 1. Participants will engage in a five-day program on college admission and school relations, as they set the foundation for a rewarding and lasting career in the admission profession.
Your registration fee of $1,045 will cover the following: Institute registration and materials; overnight double-occupancy accommodations on campus; dinner on Monday evening; 3 meals a day Tuesday through Thursday (except dinner Wednesday night); and breakfast and lunch on Friday. On Wednesday evening, participants will have dinner in town on their own. If participants drive, they will be responsible for parking fees, which are paid directly to USD.
