Check Your Application Portal and Confirm Your Enrollment
Please log in to your application portal to check your application status and view next steps, if any.
Your application portal is where you’ll commit to CBU, pay your enrollment deposit and/or request a deposit waiver.
Confirm receipt of email with CBU account and credentials.
Without this, you will miss important notifications from CBU offices and staff. Confirm that you are able to log into your CBU email, and start checking your CBU email daily.

Submit a CBU Health Form and Immunization Record.
TENNESSEE STATE LAW requires all students entering Christian Brothers University to provide documentation showing their immunizations are up-to-date. In addition, you won’t be able to register for a full load of classes until you have a Health Form and Immunization Record on file! Review and complete the CBU Health Form in its entirety.

Take Placement Tests (if applicable).
You should take any placement tests needed before registering for classes. These tests will be offered via Canvas. Look out for an email from the Office of Student Success letting you know about next steps. Schedule your placement tests here.

Confirm the Office of the Admissions has received your high school and other college transcripts.
If we do not have your up-to-date transcripts, you will not be able to register for the appropriate classes. Do you have classes currently in progress? Make sure your transcript is sent electronically as soon as final grades are posted. In the meantime, providing an “in progress” report to the Registrar will help you work with your advisor to register for classes.
