Admissions Procedures

  • Complete an online application.
  • Request official transcripts* from ALL colleges/universities. If the student has earned less than 24 transferable hours of college credit, he/she must also request an official high school transcript. Any additional items and information requested by Admissions.
  • Apply for Federal Assistance by filing the Free Application for Federal Assistance (FAFSA), listing Christian Brothers University as one of the schools to receive the results of your evaluation. Our School Code number is 003482.
  • Individual consideration will be given to applicants who may not meet all the specific requirements. Students desiring this consideration must submit either an essay and a letter of recommendation to support their ability to succeed in the program or a placement exam along with an interview with the Dean of the Global College.

* Official transcripts must be received by mail directly from a previous institution to CBU. CBU will also accept electronic transcripts via approved vendors. Faxed, hand delivered, or "Issued to Student" transcripts will not be accepted as official documents.

Upon acceptance to the Global College program, students must submit a health form and complete required placement testing prior to enrollment.

All incoming degree-seeking students to the Global College are required to take an English placement test to assess their current level of readiness for college work.

In order to most effectively place students in initial courses and maximize academic success, students will also take a placement test in math and in computer skills.
