  • Former students who did not complete the previous semester or who were released from Vista will be treated as new students as far as enrollment is concerned.
  • Adult students (21 years of age or older) are welcome to enroll at Vista, as space is available. Adult students will be charged a tuition rate or fee per ½ credit.
  • If there is a waiting list of students, these students will be enrolled by the use of a lottery system.
