Obtaining a license through Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) requires thought, research, and commitment. Those companies capable of exhibiting a commitment to the collegiate market, who have established production and distribution capabilities, and/or who offer a new or unique product will be granted the opportunity to obtain a license.

The licensing process varies in length, based upon the licensee’s responsiveness to CLC's/Purdue's requests and how quickly the policies and requirements are met. The process is divided into three stages:

1. Complete and submit a CLC licensing application.
2. Submit designs and/or samples incorporating the marks of the institution; obtain product liability insurance; purchase CLC holograms per the labeling requirements; complete product specification sheets; and complete the Authorized Manufacturer's Agreement (if applicable).
3. Execute the CLC Standard Retail Product License Agreement and the CLC Special Agreement Regarding Labor Codes of Conduct; provide factory site disclosure; and pay all advance and administrative fees.
