Admissions Process

Step-by-step guide to enrolling at Gateway

Gateway Online School is proud of the curriculum, faculty, and services offered — and we want the admissions process to be just as smooth. Here's exactly what happens after you apply.

1
Academic Records Review

Gateway Online School's Admissions Team will review all provided academic records and official documents. Please have your student's unofficial transcripts ready from their current or previous school.

2
Assessment (If Required)

Students may be assigned additional assessments in order to ensure their success in prospective classes. Our team will guide you through any required next steps.

3
Virtual Consultation Call

After documents are reviewed, a Gateway counselor will schedule a virtual call with the prospective student and family to discuss academic goals, course selection, and program expectations.

4
Acceptance Letter

After the virtual meeting and a final review of all documents, acceptance letters will be sent out to all prospective students. Most decisions are made within 3–5 business days.

5
Onboarding & Academic Planning

Along with the acceptance letter, students will receive onboarding materials and learn about the school's policies and expectations. Students are expected to work with counselors to finalize a personalized academic plan.

6
Full Access — Start Learning

After finalizing an academic plan and completing payment, students are given full access to the online education program, Apex Learning platform, faculty, and the Gateway student community.
