When and how should I apply for Academy of Art University?

Can I apply to the Academy of Art University as a high school senior?

• I'm a senior in high school and I'm looking to apply at the Academy of Art University's online program (it's just one of my options at this point). However, the school's website seems to imply that you need a high school diploma (or GED) to send in an application. Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.academyart.edu/admissions/admissions_requirements.html So does that mean that I can't apply until after I graduate? That doesn't seem right...

• Answer:

  You can apply to Academy of Art University while in high school. Based the page you linked to, you will need to present proof that you graduated before you can attend classes. You can apply online here: https://apply.academyart.edu/apply/login.htm
