Fall semester May 1
Spring semester December 1

Prospective students can apply on-line for a $25 fee or with a paper application for a $50 fee.

International Students
Chaminade University welcomes students from other countries and the diversity they bring to our student body. Our Enrollment Specialist can assist with special needs in regard to language, finances, living arrangements, and immigration and visa requirements.

Applicants who are citizens of a country other than the United States must present the credentials required for admission as a first year or transfer student as well as the following:

Official records for at least the last four years of secondary school study and any university level or post-secondary school work that has been completed or attempted. These records must list all subjects taken, grades earned, or examination results in each subject, and all diplomas and certificates. Transcripts from non-U.S. schools must be sent for evaluation through the World Education Services (WES). There is a $150 evaluation fee for this service, paid by the applicant.
Official TOEFL scores of at least 550 paper-based TOEFL or 213 computer-based TOEFL. (This test is not required for applicants whose native language is English).

First Time College Students
International Baccalaureate (IB)
The International Baccalaureate Diploma or individual IB courses are accepted for credit if the student scores at least a 5 on the higher level examinations. Specific credit award information may be obtained from the Records Office.

Admission of Unclassified Students
Applicants wishing to enroll in university classes but not in a degree program may apply for admission as unclassified students. They must still meet the University's admission standards. Application for change to classified status must be made after the completion of 15 semester credits at Chaminade. This requirement does not apply to students participating in the Marianist Exchange Program.

Transfer Students
Students from 2 or 4-year colleges may transfer at any time. No minimum number of units is required for transfer. Applicants who have completed high school and are attending college or have attended college and earned more than 24 semester hours of college credit are required to submit the following credentials:

A completed application form accompanied by a $50 application fee. On-line applications are also accepted. The on-line application fee is $25.00. The on-line application is available on the university's website at www.chaminade.edu.
A complete official transcript of the applicant's university or college record and a list of courses in progress. Upon completion of work in progress, a supplementary transcript must be sent to the Admissions Office.
