Our Two-Intake System: More Pathways to Join CSU
At Christian Service University, we are committed to making quality education more accessible. That’s why we run an established two-intake system, offering entry points in both January and September each academic year. This flexible structure allows prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students to begin their studies at a time that aligns with their personal and academic goals—without having to wait an entire year. It’s just one more way CSU supports your journey to success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have any changes been made to CSU’s admissions process or entry requirements?
No, CSU has maintained its high academic and ethical standards. However, with our flexible two-intake system (January and September), students now have greater options for when to begin their academic journey.
Will there be any difference between the two cohorts?
No. Students admitted in either the January or September intake receive the same quality education, access to resources, and faculty support. The curriculum remains consistent across both entry periods.
When should I apply?
CSU offers four application rounds each year. Applicants are encouraged to apply early to increase their chances of admission and access to scholarships or accommodation.
Are there advantages to applying early for either intake?
Yes. Early applicants often enjoy priority in admissions processing, greater scholarship consideration, and better access to on-campus housing.
Will students admitted in different intake sessions be in a different class?
Not necessarily. Students from both intakes may be merged into the same academic streams or join continuing classes depending on their programme. CSU ensures full integration across cohorts.
When will I graduate?
Graduation depends on your programme and start date. Undergraduate programmes typically last 4 years, so a student starting in January 2025 may graduate by the end of 2028, while a September 2025 student may graduate in mid-2029, assuming regular progression.
If I am admitted into an earlier cohort, can I switch to a later one?
Yes, CSU allows deferral of admission under specific circumstances. Requests must be submitted to the admissions office in advance and are subject to approval based on university policy and availability.
