In most schools at CGU, priority dates are established to give top consideration to those who apply by the specified dates below. Applications to CGU are accepted on a rolling basis, therefore, we welcome applications year-round to most programs. To confirm that your program of interest is still accepting applications past the priority date, we encourage you to contact them at the time you submit your application.
