Application/Registration

There is only one way to apply and register for the High School Summer Institute—on-line!

Application deadline is May 30, 2008.
On-line Registration deadline is June 6, 2008.
Registration is completed on-line.  Please note that full payment is expected at the time of registration to ensure placement in classes.  Students who have not made full payment within five business days of registering for HSSI classes may be dropped from those classes.  If you would like to pay online via or CCCPay system, you must wait one business day after registering for class(es) before you can access the system.

There are three steps required to enroll in HSSI:

• APPLY on-line for admission to the program.
  The application deadline is May 30, 2008.
• Once you’ve been admitted, REGISTER on-line for your classes.
  The last day to register is June 6, 2008.
• Once you have registered, PAY for your classes.
  Payment in full is due within five days of registering.

How to Apply for HSSI

1. Go to: http://apply.colum.edu
2. Create a User Account: Click on “Sign-Up” and provide all requested information.
3. Check your email to view confirmation of your username and password; this could take as long as fifteen minutes. These login credentials are to be used for the application process only. Once you are admitted to HSSI, you will be sent a different username and password for class registration.
4. Log on to the application system and you will arrive at the Application Workbox page. To begin your application, select the application name from the drop-down menu at the top of the page: High School Summer Institute 2007
5. Complete the application, then click the “submit” button to finish applying for High School Summer Institute. Note: Your application will not be received unless you click “submit.”

Acceptance to the HSSI program will be sent to you via email 3-5 business days after we receive your application. Watch your inbox because this email will contain your “Oasis” ID number and password that must be used to register on-line for classes.

Because class sizes are limited and some classes fill very early, we strongly recommend that you register for classes as soon as you receive your Oasis ID number and password! See below for instructions.
