Admission Decisions
The application form for RBS courses is available online. All applications are acknowledged upon receipt. Admission to RBS courses is on a rolling basis. The first round of admit decisions for each course is made three months before the course begins, and admit letters put into the US post. Applications received thereafter are processed immediately. RBS accepts applications until the week in which the course runs, but chances of admission are greatly increased if the application is received two weeks ahead of the initial round of admit decisions.

Frequency of Course Offerings
Not all of the courses listed in the RBS Course Bulletin will be offered this year. Some courses are offered in alternate years, and on occasion RBS faculty members may wish to take an informal sabbatical, and their courses may disappear from the Schedule for a year or two as the result.

In general, however, all RBS courses not offered annually are on a two-year cycle, and courses missing from the Schedule this year may be expected with some confidence to reappear in the Schedule next year.
