2 Your name
3 Contact & mailing address
4 Education history

List your college/university coursework. Official transcripts are sent to us directly from each institution — you don’t need to upload them here.

5 A little about you
6 Eligibility

If yes, our admissions team will follow up. State licensing agencies have specific policies regarding applicants with disciplinary actions or criminal records — a conviction does not automatically disqualify you.

All applicants must demonstrate English language competency; if English isn’t your first language, we’ll let you know which pathways and exam scores (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, and others) satisfy the requirement.

7 A few last details

Submitting opens a pre-filled email to admissions@daoisttraditions.edu in your mail app — your details aren’t sent until you press send there. For your security, we never ask for your Social Security number or bank details online; those are handled on the formal packet after acceptance.
