Who is eligible to attend CIC programs?
The CIC Minimum Eligibility Requirements can be found on our website by clicking
HERE.
Can applicants who do not meet the paygrade/rank minimum eligibility apply?
Generally, no. However, applicants who have been at the paygrade/rank minimum, but who, for various reasons, may no longer be at that paygrade/rank minimum, do meet eligibility requirements and are encouraged to apply. Such information should be clearly noted on the application.
If applicants have not ever met the paygrade/rank minimum eligibility requirements, they are not eligible to apply. Please note, meeting the paygrade/rank minimum requirement does not guarantee acceptance.
Are admissions waivers available for applicants who do not meet the minimum GPA eligibility?
No. If an applicant's undergraduate GPA is below 3.0, they do not meet the admissions requirements.
If I do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria as a civilian, can I apply under my National Guard/Reserve status?
Students may use their Reserve/Guard status to qualify for admission if they do not meet the paygrade criteria as a civilian but meet the minimum Rank requirement (E-7/CW3/O-4). Please note, your application must be completed with your Reserve/Guard status information in the Employment Section, and your Reserve/Guard supervisor must be the one to complete your “CIC Employment Verification & Recommendation Form”. Students who provide their civilian information will be asked to correct their application and provide a new form.
