The information on this page is all you need to start the process of becoming a traditional CUC student.

If you are interested in either the Adult Evening Program or the MBA Degree Course click here.

We believe that choosing any of our programs here at CUC is a great choice for you.

Step 1: Contact us
The first thing you need to do is to fill out our online information packet request form. You can also call (1-800-835-4212) or email us for a packet of information. If you do that, we will mail you an application, a viewbook and a brochure about whichever program interests you. We will also put you on our mailing list to receive more information as we send it, and we will add your information to our database so we can stay in contact with you.

Step 2: Apply
Then you should fill out an application. You may mail back your application to our address below, or you can find both an online application and a printable version at the apply online page on this website.

Step 3: Get your Recommendations
In the packet that we will send you, you will find two recommedation forms. One should be filled out by one of your teachers, the other by a pastor, coach or employer. This is just so we get to know a little more about you from people who know and like you. They can send the recommendation forms back to us.

Step 4: Send your Transcripts
Now you need to go to the registrar's or records office at your school and request that they send us an official copy of your transcript. If you have attended more than one high school, we will need to get transcripts from each one.

If they give you the copy instead of mailing it to us, please keep the envelope sealed! If it is not sealed it is not an official copy and we need this for our records. If you are a college student, we require transcripts from any college you have attended.

Step 5: Send your Test Scores
When you go to the registrar's office, ask them to send us a copy of your ACT or SAT scores. These are important as they help us decide how large a scholarship we are going to offer you.

Step 6: Fill out the FAFSA
And speaking of money, the next step is filling out your FAFSA form. No matter where you attend college, this will be requested. To fill out the FAFSA you need a copy of your and your parents tax returns.

Filling out this standardized form enables us to find out how much money the Government allows us to offer you. You can fill out a paper FAFSA or you can go online to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill one out. If you complete the online form we will get the results a little more quickly, so try and do that.

Step 7: Come and see us!
Almost done! Now you have taken care of the paperwork you need to get you started. All that remains is for you to come and visit our campus. To arrange an appointment with one of our Enrollment Counselors, you can call 1-800-835-4212, or just email us at enroll@cuc.edu
