Admission to the College of Adult and Graduate Studies

Colorado Christian University does not discriminate in the admission of students on the basis of gender, race, age, national or ethnic origin, or disability. Colorado Christian University's College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) reserves the right to deny any applicant for admission at any time due to behavioral, dispositional, or self-disclosed information that does not align with the provisions of the CAGS Student Handbook (i.e. Standards of Student Conduct), or due to falsified information on the application for admission.

The minimum age requirement to apply to the College of Adult and Graduate Studies is 18 years old. Due to the nature of CAGS courses, exceptions to this minimum age requirement will not be considered.
