  <body>&lt;p&gt;Prospective students that would like to apply for the BIS program should follow the steps below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attend a BIS Information Session&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Students interested in the BIS Program must attend an &lt;a href="../../infosessions"&gt;information session&lt;/a&gt;. You may attend an information session before applying to Mason, however, your BIS application will only be considered after admission to the university.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet with an Academic Advisor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After attending an information session, please &lt;a href="../../contact"&gt;schedule an appointment&lt;/a&gt; to discuss your academic interests and goals with one of our academic advisors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apply to Mason&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Follow the instructions contained in the &lt;a href="http://admissions.gmu.edu/transfer/"&gt;Undergraduate Transfer&amp;nbsp;admission application&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; You must enter "Individualized Study" as your academic&amp;nbsp;program/major of interest&amp;nbsp;on the application.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Please make sure you forward any official transcripts to the &lt;a href="http://admissions.gmu.edu/"&gt;Office of Admissions&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(see address below), as stated in the application. DO NOT forward transcripts to the BIS office, this&amp;nbsp;will delay your university acceptance decision. 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Office of Admissions&lt;br /&gt;4400 University Drive, MSN 3A4&lt;br /&gt;Fairfax, VA 22030&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Submit a BIS Program&amp;nbsp;Application&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is&amp;nbsp;encouraged that you submit your BIS program&amp;nbsp;application as soon as you have submitted your&amp;nbsp;Mason application.&amp;nbsp; Once you have been admitted to the university, your application to the BIS program can be considered for acceptance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can find the BIS program application &lt;a href="../../system/file_attachments/94/original/FillinApplication_002.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Applications may be submitted via &lt;a href="mailto:bis@gmu.edu"&gt;email&lt;/a&gt;, fax or regular mail to the &lt;a href="http://bis.gmu.edu/contact"&gt;BIS office&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
