Accelerated Undergraduate Programs

Admission Requirements

1. Submit the online application at www.cuw.edu/apply.
2. Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended. In cases where the student has less than 60 transferable credits, an official high school transcript or proof of GED must also be submitted. Students will be required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 or above.
3. International students should visit www.cuw.edu/international to view additional admission requirements.

Admission Decisions

When an applicant’s file is complete, the file is forwarded to the Admission Committee for review. The Admission Committee can make one of four decisions. An official decision letter is sent to the applicant, giving the decision of the Admission Committee.

1. The student is fully admitted to the program.
2. The student is admitted as a conditional student whose admission and/or continuation in the program is contingent upon meeting certain conditions that are stipulated in the acceptance letter the student receives.
3. The student is admitted as a Special Student Status – Non Degree Seeking. This applies to students who wish to enroll in courses but do not plan to seek a degree. Students enrolled in a certificate program will be admitted as Special Status.
4. The student is denied admission.*

*If an applicant is denied and is eligible to appeal, they must write a letter to the director of admission stating their intentions and reasons for appealing the decision.

Conditional Admission

Conditional admission at the undergraduate level is defined as admission to the university for students who do not meet the undergraduate admission standards (2.0 or higher cumulative GPA). Upon review of a student’s academic record, the Admissions Committee may grant applicants conditional admission to Concordia University.

Conditional admission requires the student to achieve good academic standing (GPA of a 2.0 or higher) and successful completion of the PROSPER Program within the first semester of enrollment. Students who are conditionally admitted may be required to fulfill stipulations specific to their program. Students who earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher within their first semester of enrollment are removed from conditional admission status. Failure to fulfill stipulations of conditional admission, including successful completion of the PROSPER Program, and/or failure to maintain good academic standing as an undergraduate student (GPA of 2.0 or higher) during enrollment in the first semester will result in probationary status (see the Probation and Dismissal Policy).

Non-Degree Applicants

1. Individuals registering on a full or part-time basis for courses without the intention of receiving a degree are classified as non-degree students. The work can be for audit or for credit but does not automatically apply toward a degree program.
2. Non-degree students who desire to make application for acceptance into a degree program must follow the regular application procedures for degree students. At the time of such application, credits earned as a non-degree student will be reviewed and the student apprised of how the credits can be used in meeting degree requirements.

Readmission Policy - Undergraduate Programs

Students who wish to resume their studies after an absence of one year or more must submit a new application. Students will re-enter the program under the rules and regulations of the current catalog. A new evaluation form will be completed at that time. Any new course requirements in either the major or the core must be met.
