Enrollment FAQs
Students can complete the 2024–2025 online enrollment application beginning on November 1, 2023.
What are the minimum requirements to attend CAVIT?
A student must be a current sophomore or junior to apply to CAVIT. Students will be accepted based on their score on the CAVIT Success Rubric. This rubric scores students on freshman and sophomore year number of credits earned, attendance at CAVIT recruitment activities, and the personal statement submitted in the online application.
When will I know if I've been accepted to CAVIT?
Students will be notified in February after rubric scores are calculated.
How can I increase my chances of being accepted?
Students who attend our recruiting events, have earned the most credits during their freshman and sophomore years, and submitted a quality personal statement in the online application have the best chance of getting accepted to CAVIT.
What is the deadline for applications?
The online application opens on November 1 and closes on January 31. Students will be ranked according to the CAVIT Success Rubric in February 2024. Applications will still be accepted through the beginning of the 2024–2025 school year based on availability in each program.
Besides the online application, what other paperwork needs to be completed for enrollment?
Students need to submit a personal statement and a utility bill showing their physical home address during the online application.
