If you want to get academic credit for the program...

            You have to send your official transcript from your college to the to KCP International's PO Box, with is PO Box 28028, Bellingham, WA. 98228-0028. 

                        You also need to have the confidential reference form filled out by a reference at from school, which needs to be sent from the reference through email or post. 




You should get a reply to your email within the month; for me, I was informed I was accepted the day after I applied for the program. I did, however, apply about 360 days before the program starts, which is abnormal from my understanding. 

A friend of mine was accepted about a week after submission.


Upon being accepted you will receive an email informing you of deadlines and how to download your Registration Packet, which needs to be sent to KCP's PO Box by 60 days before your program start date.
