Office of the Registrar · Student admissions
Enrollment is reviewed by the registrar. Teaching appointments are separate — faculty are hired by the dean.
Filing an application does not create a seat. A person reads every file, a file expires 30 days after it is opened, and decisions arrive by email. Read the Admissions & Academic Policy and the Code of Conduct.

Mr AP Live — your coach on your shoulder
Scans every 15s • Never ghostwrites
The city was very quiet and kind of empty at 2am.
→ Dead verb + filler. Try: “The city emptied at 2am.” [Voice: Economy]
She had been walking for hours.
→ Tense drift: past perfect → simple past. [Craft: Tense Consistency]
Chapter pacing: Act I — 78% tension ↓ Act II — 42%
Suggestion: insert reversal or raise stakes before page 8.
Two rules that never change
The AI coaches.
It never ghostwrites.
Rule 1 — AI coaches, never ghostwrites
Ask for help, type the idea of what you want to say, and Mr AP fixes grammar, sharpens the line, names the craft reason and points you in the right direction — the words stay yours. Anything shown as a full rewrite is labeled a study model, for learning only.
Rule 2 — You own everything you write
We claim no rights to your manuscripts, lyrics or scripts. Read the Terms, Privacy and License and the copyright curriculum. Publishing and distribution support is educational guidance and file preparation.
