- If you are unable to receive your User ID and Password via email you may call the Admissions Office (404-727-6326) to obtain this information.
Pop-up Blockers
Disable any Pop-up Blockers running on your computer when completing the online application. Pop-up Blockers may prevent you from creating an account and/or from logging back in once your account has been created.
Completing the application
- For your guidance, application instructions are noted at the top of each page within the application. Please read through them carefully before you begin each section. Finally, click on the Start Application link above to get started.
- As you complete the application you may notice the application "refreshing" as you enter information; this is normal as the data you enter is being verified based on the tables within our application system. By this design, we are able to process application data with greater speed and accuracy.
Be sure to submit all your application materials by the deadline. Candler welcomes prospective students and applicants to visit campus. When an application is complete, it will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The Committee normally will make a determination in two - three weeks.
