Families normally receive acceptance information within 3 weeks of SEP receiving a completed application (this includes receiving all supporting documentation if necessary). Acceptance is different from "application confirmation", which families should receive shortly after applying online. "Application confirmation" is simply an email verifying that your online application was received, not that placement into a class has occurred.

The fall, winter and spring registration fees include a nonrefundable application fee of $60. Some classes may require an additional minimal investment for materials. Full payment is required with the application. A refund is given (minus the $60 application fee) if the chosen class or alternative(s) is canceled or full, or if the student is not accepted into the program. For more information regarding refunds or requests for class transfers, go to Refund and Transfer Policies.

Please make your check or money order payable to the Center for Talent Development with your child's name in the memo line, and mail completed application (including supporting materials) to:
