Parents who are employees at CIC schools need to review the CIC process and the same for TE College employees.

Springfield College gives priority to families that have applied for tuition exchange by February 15.
All students must have a completed admissions application the the upcoming fall semester on file at Springfield College by March 1 to be eligible.
The process for considering students for tuition exchange takes place in the admissions office beginning March 15. Students will be considered based on the strength of their admissions application and academic and credentials, including their personal statements. If awarded, students will have until May 1 to make a commitment to Springfield College. After that date, their reward will be rescinded.
