Await a decision
Once ALL of the applications have been reviewed you will be notified via email of our decision. You may not get a decision until weeks before the start date of the class. We sort through all of the received applications and make a decision based on those received. SEI is highly competitive. If you are accepted, you can start planning your visit to Charlottesville.
For the ICMA-SEI Program
The application for the ICMA-SEI program is different from the SEI application. Please apply to Felicia Logan at flogan@icma.org
