Students can only apply and be accepted in eighth grade, as students begin CSI as ninth graders.
When they apply, students will select one of two testing dates. Students will take an aptitude test in reading, mathematics, and will write an essay. Scores from these tests, as well as information from the application, are entered into a rubric to determine qualification status.
The application process for the 2019-2020 school year is closed. This page will include information regarding the 2020-2021 beginning in January.
UCSI Shadowing Request
If a current 8th grade student is interested in shadowing a current UCSI student to find out more about the program, please fill out the UCSI Student Shadowing request form. Students may request to shadow anytime prior to the UCS Specialty Program Application Due Date. Once you have completed and submitted the form you will be contacted by a UCSI staff member within one week to confirm your visit.
Shadowing is not required and has no impact on student qualification status; it is simply meant for students to get a greater understanding of the UCSI program and its culture.
