Admissions

So now that you are accepted . . . what comes next?

 

Step 1 - Commit to attend Carson-Newman College-submit your enrollment fee.

All new students are required to submit a $100 enrollment fee in order to attend Carson-Newman College.  The enrollment fee covers costs associated with class registration and New Student Orientation.  Click here to pay your enrollment fee (online or paper form).  Priority placement in the residence halls and class registration is based upon date of your enrollment fee receipt.

 

Step 2 - Apply for Financial Aid.

As an accepted student, we want to provide you with your financial aid award as soon as possible.  Please check out the C-N Financial Assistance webpage for details on applying for scholarships to Carson-Newman.  Carson-Newman does not require a separate application for financial assistance, however, you should submit your FAFSA after January 1 or take advantage of our C-N 4Caster (financial aid estimator) prior to January 1.

 

Step 3 - Submit enrollment forms to the Office of Admissions.
