1. Visit Campus
Sign up for a tour and one-on-one meeting with an admissions counselor.
2. Enroll
Submit your non-refundable $300 enrollment deposit.
Your tuition deposit:
- Reserves your spot at CIA.
- When combined with your non-refundable housing registration fee of $200 (below), secures a place for you in CIA’s residence hall.
Once you submit your deposit, you will start to receive important information about orientation, housing and registering for classes.
Planning to live on campus? Make sure to submit your $200 non-refundable housing registration fee online.
Housing cannot be guaranteed to students who deposit after May 1.
3. Finance your Education
In addition to your merit-based award, you may be eligible for Federal, state, and additional need-based financial aid.
The Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) is used by colleges to assess students’ needs for financial aid. CIA’s FAFSA code is 003982. Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.
Once you’ve completed the FAFSA, our Financial Aid office will prepare a financial aid offer for you.
The award offer will show you what aid you are eligible for, based on the FAFSA. It will show the sources and amounts of aid that you are eligible to receive. It will also let you know if there are any documents that you need to complete to process your aid.
You will set up your financial aid Net Partner account to view and accept or decline your aid (federal loan) and view the status of your financial aid documents.
4. Become A Fan
Show off your CIA spirit! Wearing CIA gear is a great way to let people know where you are going to school.
