Charlotte Application Form

NEW ONLINE APPLICATION!
As an alternative to the printed application, you can apply online.  You will request an RTS ID that will permit you to manage your application process online (see the link to the online application to request your RTS ID).  With your RTS ID, you can stop at any point during the process and save what you’ve entered so that you can come back to the application later.  You will be able to upload your picture, pay the application fee, fill out the essays and addendums, and even send your references electronically.

Please give the appropriate reference form and a return envelope to those from whom you are requesting references.  References should be mailed directly to the Admissions office by the persons completing the forms.
