College for Creative Studies

Hi Jen. If you still need to pay your commitment fee as well, you can send in your commitment fee form and all housing fees to the Admissions Office in the postage paid envelope you received with your acceptance letter. You may also pay by phone with a credit card if you want to speed up the process. Call #313-664-7425 and we can take it over the phone.

Whatever your situation, our Admissions Counselors will take the time to help you get accepted to CCS from grades to portfolio preparation for as long as it takes. We'll assist you through the process in a 1-on-1 counseling appointment, conversation by phone/email or during one of our Information Sessions. Feel free to contact us at 313-664-7425 or admissions@collegeforcreativestudies.edu.

Yes, the address for the college is 201 E. Kirby, Detroit, MI 48202

What is it that you need to send?

ok, then yes, the above address will work. The Academic Advising and Registration Office will be the office that provides official proof of enrollment. Same address as well, just indicate which office in the second line of the address.

Your best option is to have it posted on our job book through our Career Services Office as most students are off-campus for the summer. Call #313-664-7690.

Absolutely! Looks like we just received your application for admission yesterday. You may email your Admissions Counselor, Amber Thomas at ambert@collegeforcreativestudies.edu or call her to chat at #313-664-7422. She will contact you as well. I recommend sending her jpeg images at 72 dpi via email however, we'd love it if you also sent us a CD of your work with jpeg images at 300 dpi to keep in your file so we can assess your success here from applicant to graduate!

Hi Sean. Your registration materials were sent out on 6.9. You should receive them anytime now.

Hi Jon. You can join any of the CCS Facebook networks anytime without email access. Do you have a CCS email account that you need help with?

Hi Katie. Who are you trying to contact on campus? Student Life (Housing)? You should be able to select your housing preference on your housing application but maybe I misunderstanding your question. Happy to help or clarify...

Hi Kiki. Yes. You can apply for housing for the winter semester and see if anything opens up. You'll want to let Student Life know that you're interested so they're aware of your desire to move in.

Karen, we haven't finalized the hours of the cafeteria yet, and there are plans for other dining options in the building. We will include incoming students in the mailing of Argonaut FAQ and answers. You should receive this document at the end of July.

I was wondering the same thing!

C'mon by! Let's talk! I just hooked up one of my students doing a graphic novel and we've got alums all over the place doing just the same.

Hey Jeremiah. Great question! You can send us a CD or DVD with images of your work in jpegs at 300 dpi or Quick Time video for your admissions file.
