Get Started
Getting started in the College of Professional Studies takes just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Apply
You can complete your application online or use a printed form (below). Our admissions team will begin evaluating your application as soon as it is received. If you have any questions about the form, please contact one of our admissions representatives. The payment options form should be submitted with your application.
Step 2: Request Transcripts
You'll need to submit official transcripts from your high school and any colleges or universities you have attended. We do have a form you can use to 
request transcripts from other institutions. However, many schools charge a fee for transcripts, so you also should check their specific policies regarding transcript requests.
Step 3: Complete the FAFSA
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can file it online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or request a paper copy from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
Step 4: Ask for recommendation letters
Undergraduate students can relax. Only graduate students are required to submit recommendation letters. Complete the "Student Information" section of the recommendation forms and distribute them to people who know you - your current employer, previous employers, professors, colleagues, community contacts, etc. You'll need three recommendations.
Step 5: Enroll
After your application is accepted, an admissions counselor will help you choose and register for your first classes. And you'll be on your way to a better life.
