<p>I am currently finishing up my supplement for William and Mary and am interested in applying for the joint program. I had a question, but the Office of Admissions is out until January 3rd. Can anyone tell me: if you are accepted to the joint degree program, is it binding? I would like to have the option to pursue this, but if something came up I would also like the option of declining. If accepted, am I obligated?</p>
<p>Does it say it is binding in any of the material? I looked quickly and I didn’t see anything that said it was…</p>
<p>No worries, SWVA Applicant. We’re checking CC and our general office email once a day while the College is closed.</p>
<p>If you’re admitted to the Joint Degree Programme it is not binding. Like other offers of admission you have to commit to it or not by May 1 but if admitted you are not required to accept that offer of admission.</p>
<p>So if I were to be accepted to both the Joint Programme and to W&M and I decided not to pursue the Joint Programme, I could decline that offer and still attend W&M as long as I made the decision by May?</p>
<p>Yes, you will recieve one decision for W&M alone and one for the Joint Degree Programme. You will have until May 1 to accept or decline either offer.</p>
<p>Very good. Thank you so much!</p>
