Click for Details  Complete Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling
As a result of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, all federal student loans come directly from the U.S. Department of Education under the Direct Loan Program. If students are eligible for a Federal Stafford loan (Subsidized or Unsubsidized), they need to complete an Entrance Counseling session. This session covers the rights and responsibilities of a Direct Stafford Loan borrower and is a federal requirement prior to obtaining the loan funds.

Payment Options include financial aid, FACTS payment plan, check, credit card, and/or electronic check. See our Online Payment FAQ (PDF) for more details. Payment arrangements for all semester charges must be made by July 1 for the fall semester and by December 1 for the spring semester. To discuss your financial aid award and payment options, call Service Central at 303-963-3230 or 800-44-FAITH, ext 3230. You may also e-mail Service Central at financialaidsupport@ccu.edu.

Housing

Click for Details  Submit Housing Deposit
A housing deposit (see Tuition and Fees) is required for students who plan to live in University housing. Students in their first and second year of college after graduation from high school (under 21 years of age) from outside the Denver metro area are required to live on campus. Students in their first and second year of college that are from the Denver area may live on campus or with their parents. In order to be eligible to live with parents, students in the Denver area must complete the residency requirement waiver portion of the housing application. You may also submit the housing deposit online.
 

Please note that because CCU views living on campus as an important part of a student’s complete educational experience, full-time (12 credit hours or more), unmarried students (under the age of 21) in their first and second year of college after high school graduation, who are taking courses in the College of Undergraduate Studies (traditional program) are required to reside on campus.

If you are planning to live on campus, fill out the entire housing application and sign and return the housing lease along with the housing deposit.

If you are planning to live off campus and are under the age of 21, submit the Housing Application with the residency requirement waiver section filled out. If you would like a CCU meal plan, the option for selecting one is included in the housing application.

If you would like to request a specific roommate, you may indicate that on your application. Otherwise, CCU will match you with someone based on the answers in your application and placement form. If you would like to request a specific stairwell to live in, please indicate that stairwell on your housing application and register for the correlating Freshman Year Integration course associated with the Learning Community in that stairwell.

If you have already signed a housing contract and need to be released from it, you will need to submit the Lease Cancellation Request (PDF). Please note the deadlines for receiving full and partial reimbursement of your housing deposit. If you have already signed up for a meal plan, and wish to change or cancel your plan, you must submit the Meal Plan Selection Form (PDF).

 


Student Life Expectations

Once you have submitted your tuition deposit, you will receive an e-mail regarding CCU's Lifestyle Covenant. Each CCU student is required to sign this document. By signing this document, students make a commitment to each other and to the University that they will pursue the challenge of living out biblical standards. This form is due by the Add/Drop date (January 25, 2012) of each academic year; however, it is important information that should be reviewed prior to your arrival at CCU. Forms can be returned via e-mail at CCUStudentLife@ccu.edu, faxed to 303-301-8362, or mailed to CCU Student Life, 8787 W. Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226. It can also be turned in to the Student Life Office when you arrive on campus.
 


Health Services

Click for Details  Submit your Immunization Form (PDF)

The State of Colorado requires college students to have a certified record of two doses of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. The MMR record must be signed by a physician, nurse, county health department official, or school health authority. This form must be submitted to the CCU Health Services Office by the add/drop date of the first semester of enrollment. Failure to submit the form will result in a hold being placed on the student's account.

Forms can be returned via e-mail at HealthServices@ccu.edu, faxed to 303-301-8362, or mailed to CCU Health Services, 8787 W. Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226.

Learn more about University Health Services and immunization requirements at CCU.

If you are under 18 years old your parent/guardian must complete the Consent to Treat Minors Form (PDF).

 

The meningitis vaccine is recommended by the CDC, the Colorado State Health Department, and the American College Health Association. The State of Colorado does not require that students have the meningitis vaccine, but the state requires signed documentation that each student has read the information about the disease and the vaccination. The student must show proof of either:

  • Having received the Meningococcal Vaccine;
  • Having read the Meningococcal Disease information sheet and completed the request form to receive the vaccine;
  • Having read the Meningococcal Disease information sheet and declined the vaccine via waiver.

This information must be submitted to the CCU Health Services Office by the add/drop date of the first semester of enrollment. Failure to submit the form will result in a hold being placed on the student's account. Forms can be returned via e-mail at HealthServices@ccu.edu, faxed to 303-301-8365, or mailed to CCU Health Services, 8787 W. Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226.

Click for Details  Submit your Health Insurance Waiver (PDF) or Enrollment Form (PDF)

As a condition of enrollment, all CCU traditional undergraduate students living on or off campus, carrying six credits or more are required to have health insurance coverage. All full-time students will be billed for the University health insurance plan until they provide proof of insurance coverage. If you are already covered under another plan and want to waive the University health insurance plan, you must complete the Health Insurance Waiver and show proof of insurance to the CCU Health Services Office. If the insurance waiver has not been submitted to the Health Services Office by the add/drop date of the first semester of enrollment, the billing of the CCU insurance plan will become final.

If you will no longer be covered for health insurance under a parent or guardian, you may obtain health insurance through CCU by completing the University Health Insurance Enrollment Form.

All forms can be returned via e-mail at HealthServices@ccu.edu, faxed to 303-301-8365, or mailed to CCU Health Services, 8787 W. Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226.

Note: Student Athletes must submit a health insurance waiver to University Health Services. Athletes are not eligible for the University sponsored health insurance plan. Please see the Athletics Website for more information or speak to your coach.
