Upon acceptation into CSPA or CUPA, each student is issued a handbook. It holds everything, including the school's mission, it's rules, and other important notices. It's important that each student read the handbook.

As with most other specialty schools, CSPA requires students to fill out an application. They are then reviewed by the Department of Admissions, and you are either accepted or denied. Good luck!
