Application Process & Policies

The Catalogue is NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE.

Regular application postmark deadline APRIL 30. 2012.

Please contact us to receive your copy of the Catalogue in the mail.

Summer Programs Applications are evaluated as they are received on a rolling basis. Apply early since classes fill very quickly. In order to make the initial registration process as equitable as possible, we will not accept hand-delivered or faxed applications. All applications must be mailed to CBK for course choice equity by postmark. Eligible students are assigned classes as fully completed applications with all payment deposits are received. If a student’s first choice class is full, he or she will be put on the waiting list, and then assigned to the second choice. The same process holds for second and third choices. Waitlisted students sometimes get into their first choices. It is important that students list only those courses in which they would accept enrollment. If all class choices listed on the application are full, a phone call will be placed to the applicant to discuss options. Again, APPLY EARLY!

DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION PACKET UNTIL ALL REQUIRED PIECES ARE INCLUDED.

REGULAR APPLICATION POSTMARK DEADLINE IS APRIL 30th, 2012

ACCEPTANCE PACKETS will be emailed upon acceptance of the student application to the parent/guardian address you provide on your application and include multiple forms necessary for safety in a residential or campus program as well as an opportunity to make a roommate request. These forms are due back to CBK no later than June 1st or a $100 late fee for processing will be assessed.

WELCOME LETTERS will be emailed as classes fill in late April and early May . Please do not call CBK to check on course assignment status. This letter will include class assignment, roommate assignment, and critical opening day information, maps, and directions.

Portfolio Admission Process

CBK offers alternate application by portfolio for students who do not have the necessary test scores through a Talent Search. All portions of the Portfolio Admission Application must be completed and all required materials received, including the full Summer Programs Application, before portfolio admission candidates will be considered. Portfolio applications, once completed in full, will be included in the course selection process according to postmark. See Portfolio Admission Application. In this way, the portfolio review process, which takes a bit longer than the score review process, will not affect admission to specific courses that may fill quickly. Early application is highly recommended. Students are encouraged to participate in the Western Academic Talent Search to achieve qualifying scores for future summers.
