Admissions deadline — CCU offers rolling enrollment which means applications are accepted until the enrollment capacity is reached. It is best to apply early so you can be sure to reserve your spot at CCU.
Preferred Admit deadline — You must apply for admission, be admitted to CCU, and submit a $150 tuition deposit by the deadline to be eligible for Preferred Admission benefits.
Priority Application deadline — for financial aid and scholarship consideration is April 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester.
Students who do not meet these minimum requirements are encouraged to apply and the University will consider their application under a committee review process which may include a personal interview. Factors such as essay content, recommendation content, and extracurricular activity all contribute to an individual admission decision.
The Office of Admission reserves the right to request additional information as deemed necessary to make a selection decision. CCU will make an admission decision after all application materials have been received. We'll contact you once we have reviewed all admissions requirements to let you know our decision.
Quick Tips
- Transferrable credits — Based on the academic catalog of the year the student is enrolled at CCU or admitted to a program and not the year the exam was taken. At CCU, we understand that you've worked hard to prepare for college.
- FAFSA — It is important to apply for financial aid and student aid early by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after October 1 as possible.
