Thank you for your interest in applying to CCU's College of Undergraduate Studies. We are looking for students who demonstrate strong academic achievement and exemplify a vital Christian pursuit, personal integrity, and a desire for a Christ-centered community.
An official ACT, SAT, or CLT test score is currently optional for admission. However, submitting a test score is required for first-time freshmen to be considered for CCU's two highest-level merit scholarships. NCAA regulations require that potential student-athletes must take the ACT/SAT at an approved location to become eligible to participate in NCAA sports — CLT scores are not accepted for student-athletes.
