Quick Assist
Yes. In an effort to make applying to Catholic Theological Union (CTU) convenient and user-friendly, we’ve moved to an online application system.
It’s easy. To begin your application to CTU, click here.
The online application allows you to apply from any computer with internet access —anywhere, anytime. Prompts within the web form will guide you as you go. If you need assistance, however, we’re just a phone call or e-mail away. Our contact information is provided below.
No. When you begin the application, you will be asked to log in by creating a username and password. You can save your work as you go, and return to the application again as many times as you need.
- Transcripts
- Letters of recommendation
- Personal statement
- Application fee ($55.00)
You will have the option of uploading your personal statement as an electronic document in the online application. However, you may also send it along later as an e-mail attachment, or via fax or postal mail. Letters of recommendation can either be mailed to the Office of Admissions or e-mailed as an attachment to apply@ctu.edu. Finally, transcripts must be mailed to the Office of Admissions, Catholic Theological Union, 5401 S. Cornell Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60615 USA or emailed to apply@ctu.edu.
Although we ask you to list your references in the online application, they will need to submit their letters separately. Once your application is submitted, CTU will contact your references to complete the process.
Once you click the “Submit” button you will be unable to make changes or edits to your application. If you do need to make changes after submitting your application, please contact the Office of Admissions and we can update your application.
Your responses will only be seen by the Office of Admissions and our application review committee. Your online application is secure and remains confidential.
