During the intake appointment, the counselor will speak with you about the program, the requirements to remain an active member and the benefits of the program. Be prepared to answer a list routine questions during your intake session, which will assist the counselor in determining program acceptance decisions . After the counseling session, you will then receive an email to inform you of your program admission status.
