Dream high and plan to Achieve Your Dreams

A dream is not always money in the bank but something you set your mind to achieve. Cornerstone Christian University exists just for you to help achieve your dreams. CCU is an institution of experiential learning and non-traditional education at a distance, where you can design your path to success.

You never have to step into a physical classroom, and attendance is not required. What makes us unique is the combination of a student “self-instruction” approach with the guidance of an advisor, the collaborative development of a curriculum that is unique to each student, and the flexibility of time and place of study.

Thank you for requesting information about our admission process. We are in more than 40 countries and two languages since our last count. CCU is a 5-star school (Google can prove that). CCU is very affordable with a flexible payment plan, but it is not a cheap school in the true meaning of the word. These philosophy and ethical values of CCU do not believe that money should be the driving force of our school.

General Admission Process

Prospective students interested in enrolling must complete an official application with the Office of the Registrar. The Admission Application can be conveniently submitted online using a credit card. To begin the process, please click on the Admission Request form. Each applicant will be evaluated individually on a case-by-case basis.

Cornerstone Christian University is committed to providing high-quality education. We carefully curate both secular and biblically-based curricula to ensure you receive the best educational value for your investment.

Please note that CCU is not a Title IV-approved institution and, as such, does not participate in Title IV financial aid programs. However, we do offer a scholarship program for eligible students to help offset tuition costs.

For applicants with a GPA below 2.0 (or 3.0) and five or more years of professional experience, the quality and diversity of work history will also be considered.

Admissions may work with copies but whitin  30 days,  all official transcripts must be submitted (if you have not done so) and the privacy rights required by federal law, a statement every student signed. We’ll forward it to you.

Upon receipt of a complete application and all required documents—including the non-refundable application fee—the Admissions Committee will evaluate the application. If accepted, the applicant will be scheduled for an interview/orientation, which serves as the final step in the admission process. This interview will help determine the candidate’s suitability for attendance at CCU. You’ll receive a letter of status stated whether or not your request was granted.
