How to Apply
Prospective students may apply either by calling to request an application (800-539-4425), emailing admissions@seeingeye.org, or by completing an online application.

- The completed file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
- The applicant is notified of the decision. Acceptance may or may not include a class date.
- Class dates are finalized based on space as well as availability of best-suited dog.
The time involved in the process varies, depending on these factors:
- How quickly your references respond to our requests.
- Availability of an instructor for your personal visit.

Generally, once an applicant is accepted, class placement is within three to six months.
