Nondiscrimination Policy
The Sanville Institute admits each student on the basis of merit. The Institute does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, physical handicap, race, religion, color, national or ethnic origin, or sexual orientation in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies or other school-administered programs.

Transfer Students to the PhD Program
The Sanville Institute is a competence-based program and all students must demonstrate competency in the required curriculum.

However, a student who has developed competence through work in another institution may look forward to accelerated progression through the Institute's program on the basis of advanced readiness to demonstrate competency.
