How to Apply
Applying to CLC is easy
All you need is your personal email address to start. Other requirements can follow and your College and Career Navigator (CCN) will guide you through the onboarding process.
We’ll respond to your application quickly—usually within 1 business day—with two emails:
- Your CLC myLogin username
- Your temporary password
Use your provided login information to access the student portal. Once there, you have access to your CLC email and can complete the steps you need to:
- Complete your academic record
- Finalize application for financial aid and scholarships
- Complete CLC pre-orientation activities
- Schedule time with your CCN and register for your first-semester classes
- Attend New Student Convocation
- Pay your tuition fees or set up a payment plan
In addition to these two emails, we send you an official admission letter through the U.S. Mail. This letter also has your login information, so hold on to it.
If you have any questions—reach out to your CCN.
