Helpful Tips

  • Your online CCU Education Abroad application does not have to be completed all at once. You can work on it and come back by logging in to continue working.
  • To log into your online CCU Education Abroad application, go to ccu-sa.terradotta.com and click "Student Login/REGISTER" located on upper right-hand corner.
  • CCU students login using CCU credentials.  Your CCU username is the first part of your CCU email address (e.g. jsmith).
  • When writing your Statement of Purpose, use Microsoft Word (or a comparable word processor) instead of writing directly in your application to avoid losing unsaved work when the online application page automatically refreshes every few minutes. You can copy and paste the text into your online application when it's completed.
  • Be sure to read through each signature material carefully. By signing these electronic documents, you are agreeing to be liable for all contained information.
