Global Union Online Admissions and Enrollment Process
There are three steps to the Global Online Application and Enrollment Process:

  • Step 1: Acceptance to CSU
  • Step 2: Transfer Credit Evaluation
  • Step 3: Course Registration. 

Below are key steps to ensure your application and enrollment process goes smoothly. Please read and follow the processes below to successfully complete your admissions and enrollment process.

Step 1: Office of Online Admissions – Application Process

For Step 1, your application and documents are submitted to our online admissions office. After you submit your online application, follow the flowchart below to submit your official documents.

  • To ensure the accuracy of your application, see the link below: Tips for Completing the Central State Global Union Program Application
  • Note: On the online application, be sure to select Global Union in the dropdown menu of the Student Type field.

It is essential to monitor your application checklist for the latest updates. Please allow adequate time to the processing time for each step, as noted in the application, and avoid sending status tickets or emails, which can and will slow down or impede the processing of your application. After your file is complete, a decision will be rendered within 14 to 21 business days. Do not send application status inquiries, as these inquiries require research time.

  • Note: If you were accepted to the institution while attending another institution, you must submit your final updated official transcript with your graduation date or final course grades during the first semester of classes. An admissions hold will be placed on your account, preventing you from proceeding with the following registration session, awarding future financial grants, etc.

UNION VERIFICATION FORM

To be eligible for the Central State Global Program, you or your family member must complete the Union Verification Form. Contact your Union for completion of the form, then upload the document to your application checklist.
 

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Please remember to have all your official transcripts sent directly from all previously attended institutions. Our office runs a prior enrollment history check to identify attendance at all institutions. You must list all institutions on your application. Suppose a college or university is listed on your National Student Clearinghouse record, but you did not attend the institution. In that case, you must request a letter of non-attendance from that institution and have it sent directly to Central State University.

Official transcripts must come directly from the institution and be sealed. If sending official transcripts directly from the institution by regular mail, please mail them to the following:
