FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We do accept mid-year transfers but, unlike some schools, Centre has a short 果冻传媒Term session every January. Transfer students can join us for the start of the Fall Term beginning in August, CentreTerm beginning in early January, or Spring Term beginning in early February.

Centre offers a very traditional residential college experience. All classes take place in-person, on weekdays between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. We believe there are many benefits to a collaborative, interactive learning environment. We welcome non-traditional students, but our class schedule is not set up to easily accommodate individuals who work full-time jobs of have other commitments away from campus.

Centre offers both merit-based and need-based financial aid. Our dedicated Financial Aid team is always here to help you navigate your financial aid package and explore any available resources to ensure you are fully supported during your time at 果冻传媒. While transfer students are not eligible for the Centre Promise, we encourage anyone with financial aid concerns or questions to reach out to our Financial Aid Office.
