For members who apply to PathwayConnect from an account without their MRN attached or for those who create more than one Pathway account, please contact your Peer Mentor.

The background check portion of the application collects information necessary to assess whether you meet PathwayConnect admission requirements. You are required to report and answer questions about any previous criminal convictions. Applications for individuals with previous criminal convictions may take additional time to review and process. You should keep an eye on your email for requests for additional information, acceptance letters, or denial notices.

See PC - English Language Assessment (ELA) for general information about the English Language Assessment. 
Information
PathwayConnect students gather once a week to participate in additional learning and leadership activities. On the location selection page, you are prompted to select your gathering group location. You will be given the option to attend a virtual location (weekly gathering groups are held online) or a local gathering group (weekly gathering groups are held in person at a physical location). Note that local gathering groups may not be offered in all areas of the world. If there are no nearby local gathering groups, you should opt to attend a virtual gathering.
Information
On the offer acceptance page, you are able to:
  • Confirm enrollment details
  • Review tuition charges
  • Review and agree to program requirements, terms and conditions, information release, and privacy release.
 
You should thoroughly review this information before continuing. At the end of the accept offer page, you can choose to either accept or decline their offer of admission*. Unless further review is required, applicants who accept their offer of admission are enrolled immediately into PathwayConnect. Applicants who decline their offer are not enrolled and their application will be canceled.
 
Those Who Decline an Offer of Admission (On Purpose or by Accident)
Students must restart and complete another application in order to receive a new offer of admission. 
 
*Program Agreements- Applicants are required to accept all agreements on the offer acceptance page to enroll in PathwayConnect. Applicants are not permitted to “opt out” of any of these conditions of admission. 
Information
After you have accepted an offer of admission, you will be prompted to select a weekly gathering group. You should choose from any of the available groups shown. These gathering groups will meet once a week during the designated gathering time. If no gathering groups are shown or if you do not want to select a gathering group at this time, you will be able to select a gathering group later in your student portal.
