Applying to Calhoun just takes the 5 Simple Steps listed below. If you need any help, contact our outreach & recruiting team who can help walk you through the process and answer any questions.
5 Simple Steps
STEP 1: Apply for Admission
If you have already created an account with Calhoun, log in. If you haven’t, then select “Create New User Account”. The application requires students to use a personal email address (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.). We do not recommend using an email address issued to you by a high school or college.
Once your application has been processed, Admissions will assign and email each student their Student ID Number (also referred to as your “A-Number” / “A#”).
STEP 2: Discover Ways to Pay for College & Complete Your FAFSA
We have lots of resources that will help you break down the financial aid process, payment options, types of aid available and more.
- Explore resources that will help you calculate the cost.
- Learn how the financial aid process works.
- Find out if you are eligible for federal financial aid.
- Explore types of financial assistance available including:
- Find important payment deadlines.
- Learn about your payment options and ways to pay.
- Learn how to manage your money with links to free resources.
STEP 3: Submit your official transcript and SAT/ACT test scores.
Students are required to submit transcripts from previous institutions. ACT/SAT is not required but, in some cases, may be used for course placement.
STEP 4: Schedule Your Advising Session to Discuss Course Options
All first-time students are required to meet with an advisor. For your convenience, we currently offer in-person, phone or virtual appointments. It is recommended that students meet with an advisor at least 2 weeks before registration begins to ensure they are in the correct program of study and are making the correct course selections for their programs. Your advisor can also help you determine if you will need to take a placement test before registering.
