Autobiography (required of applicants for general admission)

Applicants for general admission must write an autobiography as part of the admissions process. The two main reasons for the autobiography are to get to know you and to evaluate your writing skills. In reviewing your essay, the Admissions Committee considers the quality of thought and clarity of your writing. Please print or type your autobiography. Be sure that your name, and address, appear on each page. Typically, written autobiographies are 2-3 pages in length, but feel free to use as much space as necessary. You may file your autobiography by e-mail by sending it to admissions@livinguniv.com. There is no autobiography requirement for high school students applying for the Dual Enrollment Program.

We suggest you provide these individuals an envelope addressed to the Admissions Office with postage prepaid.
