Dear Student-Athletes,
As we prepare to welcome everyone back for the Fall 2026 season, we are excited to share an important milestone in our University’s history.
Effective Monday, August 17, 2026, California Intercontinental University will officially become Crestmont University.
While our name is changing, everything that makes our University and Athletics program strong remains the same. Crestmont University is the same institution, under the same ownership, leadership, accreditation, and commitment to student success. This is a name change that reflects our continued growth and vision for the future.
For our student-athletes, your team, coaches, scholarships, academic programs, athletic eligibility, and support services will continue without interruption as we begin this exciting new chapter together. Whether you are returning to compete or joining us for your first season, you will be part of the inaugural class representing Crestmont University Athletics.
August 17 marks more than the start of a new academic term. It marks the beginning of a new era for our University and an opportunity for every Falcon to help shape the future of Crestmont Athletics.
Thank you for your continued commitment, passion, and dedication. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus and officially launching Crestmont University Athletics together.
Welcome to Crestmont University.
Go Falcons!
