Ready to Apply?

PTY works with DocNetwork/SchoolDoc (an online third-party provider) to collect and process student registrations. Students new to PTY will need to create an online profile in DocNetwork before they are able to submit an application. Students who have created a SchoolDoc profile for a previous PTY application or another, non-PTY, program may use their previously established login credentials. Please visit the SchoolDoc Help Page if you are a returning SchoolDoc user and have trouble logging in. If placed in a course, you will also have the option of completing required forms and paying tuition through the SchoolDoc account, if desired.
