Tuition Exchange Programs

Carroll University is a member of three tuition exchanges:

  • The Tuition Exchange (TTE)
  • The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) Tuition Exchange
  • The Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities (APCU) Tuition Exchange

These exchanges are available to full-time, undergraduate students of eligible employees at participating institutions.

Process at Carroll University

  • Student applies to Carroll for full-time admission
  • Student/parent completes required tuition exchange paperwork at school where the parent works (home or exporting institution). If you don't know where to complete this, check with your Human Resources Office.
  • Necessary tuition exchange paperwork is sent from the exporting school to Carroll's liaison officer.
  • In January, Carroll will review all applications of those students accepted to Carroll and the first round of selections will be made.
  • All other students not selected in first round will be placed on a waitlist.
  • As spots are made available, waitlisted students will be notified until all spots are filled or no one remains on the waitlist.

Deadlines

  • Carroll does not have a deadline to accept the tuition exchange paperwork. However, we recommend that you have it to us by the end of December to be considered for a tuition exchange spot for the following school year.
  • FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid - fafsa.gov) must be completed by April 1 of the year the student is planning to attend Carroll University.
